Description
This gene is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily and encodes a receptor for the Fc region of IgA. The receptor is a transmembrane glycoprotein present on the surface of myeloid lineage cells such as neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils, where it mediates immunologic responses to pathogens. It interacts with IgA-opsonized targets and triggers several immunologic defense processes, including phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and stimulation of the release of inflammatory mediators. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
Bio-activity
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Human IgA is immobilized at 5 μg/mL, 100 μL/well, the concentration of Recombinant Cynomolgus Monkey FCAR/CD89 that produces 50% of the optimal binding response is 0.250-2.50 μg/mL.
