Gene: FCGRT

Alternate names for this Gene: FCRN|alpha-chain

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a receptor that binds the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulin G. The encoded protein transfers immunoglobulin G antibodies from mother to fetus across the placenta. This protein also binds immunoglobulin G to protect the antibody from degradation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.33

Description of this Gene: Fc fragment of IgG receptor and transporter

Type of Gene: protein-coding
