FcR
Molecular classification
Receptor, Immunoglobulin superfamily, Type I Fc receptors, Type II Fc receptors, C-type lectin receptors
01

Overview

Fc receptors (FcRs) are a group of cell-surface proteins that specifically recognize and bind to the Fc (fragment crystallizable) region of antibodies. These receptors play a crucial role in the immune system by connecting antibody-mediated immune responses to cellular effector functions. They are implicated in various diseases and have significant therapeutic potential in areas like cancer immunotherapy and autoimmune disease.
