Human CD32A/FCGR2A/FCGRIIa Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Biotinylated, Recombinant

Description

There are 3 classes of receptors for the Fc region of IgG (FcγRs): FcγRI (CD64), FcγRII (CD32), and FcγRIII (CD16), each with multiple isoforms.  All these receptors are members of the Ig superfamily (IgSF) and they play important roles in the activation or inhibition of immune responses. FcγRI is a high-affinity receptor for IgG while both FcγRII and FcγRIII are low-affinity receptors that bind IgG in the form of immune complexes.  There are 3 genes for human FcγRII (CD32A, B, & C) that encodes single pass type I transmembrane proteins. The extracellular domain (ECD) of 3 human FcγRIIs shares ~90% amino acid sequence homology containing 2 Ig-like C2-type motifs.  CD32A and CD32C contain immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) while CD32B has an inhibitory motif (ITIM) in their cytoplasmic regions. Together they act as an activating or inhibiting receptor pair to regulate immune responses. CD32A is expressed on many immune cells including macrophage, neutrophil, eosinophils, platelets, dendritic cells and Langerhan cells. Signaling through CD32A results in the initiation of inflammatory responses such as cytolysis, phagocytosis, degranulation and cytokine production that can be modulated by signals from the inhibitory receptors. The strength of the signal is dependent on the ratio of expression of the activating and inhibitory receptors. Besides Fc, CD32A also binds C-reactive protein (CRP).  Two allelic variants (R167 and H167) of CD32A differ in their ability to bind human IgG2 or CRP.
