Recombinant fragment of human FCGRT protein (around aa 24-215) (Exact sequence is proprietary)
Alternative Synonym:
Fc fragment of IgG, receptor transporter, alpha, FCGRT, FCRN, alpha chain, IgG Fc fragment receptor transporter alpha chain, IgG Gc receptor, IgG receptor FcRn large subunit p51, Immunoglobulin receptor, intestinal, heavy chain, Neonatal Fc receptor
This gene encodes a receptor that binds the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulin G. FCGRT is present in the intestinal epithelium of neonates and mediates the selective uptake of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in mothers milk, thereby helping newborn to acquire passive immunity. FCGRT is comprised of a heavy chain and -2-Microglobulin. FCGRT localizes in endosomes of vascular endothelial cells and selectively recycles IgG to the cell surface, thus protecting IgG from lysosomal degradation. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF Dyes and other labels. CF Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF405S and CF405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
