Fcgr4, also known as CD16-2, is one of the receptors for Fc region of IgG which involve in immune responses. Fcgr4 mainly functions in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide, NK T cell proliferation, regulation of sensory perception of pain, wound healing etc. Three groups are included for Fc ? receptors (FcR), and they are Fc ? RI (CD64), Fc ? RII (CD32), and Fc ? RIII (CD16). Among these, CD64 possess high affinity even for monomeric IgG, while CD32 and CD16 display a relative lower affinity for IgG. Genes encodes these receptors are diverse differing by species and cell types. The aggregation of FcR having immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) activates sequentially src family tyrosine kinases and syk family tyrosine kinases that connect transduced signals to common activation pathways shared with other receptors. FcR with ITAMs elicit cell activation, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. Fcgr4 belongs to Fc ? RIII (CD16) group.
1. Measured by its ability to bind human IgG1 (Fc) in a functional ELISA.2. Labeling ratio of biotin to protein: 0.6
Endotoxin:
<1.0 EU per µg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
Protein Construction:
The amino acid sequence corronding to (Met 1-Gln 203) of mouse FCGR4 (NP_653142.2) was fused with a c-terminal polyhistidine tagged AVI tag at the C-terminus. The expressed protein was biotinylated in vivo by the Biotin-Protein ligase (BirA enzyme) which is co-expressed.
