Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables IgG binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Fc receptor-mediated immune complex endocytosis; nervous system development; and regulation of response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class II; negative regulation of immune effector process; and regulation of phagocytosis. Located in cell body; dendritic spine; and external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; bone; liver; lung; and spleen. Used to study malaria and systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); dengue disease (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); leukopenia (multiple); and malaria (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including FCGR2B (Fc gamma receptor IIb).
