CD32a / FCGR2A Protein Description

Receptors that recognize the Fc portion of IgG (Fcγ Rs) functions in the regulation of immune response and are divided into three classes designated Fcγ RI (CD64), Fcγ RII (CD32), and Fcγ RIII (CD16). Fcγ RI binds IgG with high affinity and functions during early immune responses, whereas Fcγ RII and RIII are low affinity receptors that recognize IgG as aggregates surrounding multivalent antigens during late immune responses. Human CD32 class is encoded by three closely related genes, and designated Fcγ RII A, B, and C which share 94 - 99% amino acid identity in their extracellular domains but differ substantially in their transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. Fcγ RII A is expressed on cells of both myeloid and lymphoid lineages as well as on cells of non-hematopoietic origin. Associated with an ITAM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif)- bearing adapter subunit, Fc Rγ, CD32a (Fcγ RII A) delivers an activating signal upon ligand binding, and results in the initiation of inflammatory responses including cytolysis, phagocytosis, degranulation and cytokine production. The responses can be modulated by signals from the coexpressed inhibitory receptors such as Fcγ RII B, and the strength of the signal is dependent on the ratio of expression of the activating and inhibitory receptors.
