FCGRT, Official Symbol FCGRTprovided by HGNC Official Full Name Fc gamma receptor and transporterprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:3621 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000104870 MIM:601437; AllianceGenome:HGNC:3621 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as FCRN; FcgammaRn; alpha-chain Summary This 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.
