Summary
FCGR2A is a receptor for immunoglobulin G, clustering induces shape change, secretion and aggregation
FCGR2A (FcgammaRIIA) is a receptor that recognizes IgG opsonized particles and initiates phagocytosis in immune clearance. FCGR2A is also a positive regulator of complement-mediated phagocytosis.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes one member of a family of immunoglobulin Fc receptor genes found on the surface of many immune response cells. The protein encoded by this gene is a cell surface receptor found on phagocytic cells such as macrophages and neutrophils, and is involved in the process of phagocytosis and clearing of immune complexes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
