Fc gamma II receptor-mediated macrophage activation

Molecular classification
Receptor signaling pathway, Immune signaling pathway
01

Overview

Macrophage activation via Fc gamma II receptors involves the binding of IgG antibodies to FcγRII (CD32) on macrophages, triggering downstream signaling pathways that modulate immune responses. FcγRIIA (CD32A) activates macrophages through ITAM signaling, promoting phagocytosis and cytokine release, while FcγRIIB (CD32B) inhibits activation through ITIM signaling, preventing excessive inflammation. Genetic polymorphisms in FCGR2 genes can influence disease susceptibility, highlighting the clinical significance of this pathway in autoimmune diseases and infection.
