General informationThis section has been translated automatically.
The coding FCGR2A gene (FCGR2A stands for: Fc gamma receptor IIa) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1q23.3. The encoded CD32 receptor protein binds with low affinity to the Fc region of immunoglobulins gamma. By binding to IgG, it initiates cellular immune responses against pathogens and soluble antigens. Promotes phagocytosis of opsonized antigens.
