Description:
This gene encodes one of three members of a family of low-affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptors (FcγRs) found on the surface of many immune response cells. The encoded protein is a transmembrane glycoprotein and may be involved in a variety of effector and regulatory functions such as phagocytosis of immune complexes and modulation of antibody production by B-cells. It also plays a crucial role in the formation of allo-antibodies. An allelic polymorphism in this gene results in both coding and non-coding variants. The non-classical open reading frame in the FCGR2C gene (FCGR2C.nc-ORF polymorphism) was associated with a decreased red blood cell allo-immunization risk in patients with sickle cell disease.
