FCGR2C
Description
The FCGR2C (Fc gamma receptor IIc (gene/pseudogene)) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
The FCGR2C gene encodes a protein called Fc fragment of IgG receptor IIc. This protein is one of three members of a family of low-affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptors found on immune cells. It is a transmembrane glycoprotein, meaning it spans the cell membrane, and is thought to play a role in phagocytosis (engulfing and destroying foreign particles) and clearing immune complexes. Variations in this gene can lead to both coding and non-coding variants.
FCGR2C is also known as CD32, CD32C, CDW32, FCG2, FCRIIC, FcgammaRIIc, IGFR2.
