Gene information for FCGRT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2217
Official gene symbolFCGRT
Full nameFc fragment of IgG, receptor, transporter, alpha
Aliases,FCRN,alpha-chain,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a receptor that binds the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulin G. The encoded protein transfers immunoglobulin G antibodies from mother to fetus across the placenta. This protein also binds immunoglobulin G to protect the antibody from degradation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
