alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist,function:Binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulins alpha. Mediates several functions including cytokine production.,similarity:Contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,subunit:Associates with the Fc epsilon RI gamma 2 receptor inducing tyrosine phosphorylation of gamma 2.,tissue specificity:Differentially expressed between blood and mucosal myeloid cells. Monocytes express isoform A.1, isoform A.2 and isoform A.3 while alveolar macrophages express isoform A.1 and isoform A.2; however they express only one isoform at their surfaces.,
[Isoform A.1]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.; [Isoform A.2]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.; [Isoform A.3]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.; [Isoform B]: Secreted.; [Isoform B-delta-S2]: Secreted.
Isoform A.1, isoform A.2 and isoform A.3 are differentially expressed between blood and mucosal myeloid cells. Isoform A.1, isoform A.2 and isoform A.3 are expressed in monocytes. Isoform A.1 and isoform A.2 are expressed in alveolar macrophages; however only one isoform is expressed at alveolar macrophages surfaces.
