Protein Tag: C-His-Avi
Uniprot: P08637
Accession: P08637-1
Background: The Fc receptor with low affinity for IgG (FCGR3; or CD16) is encoded by 2 nearly identical genes; FCGR3A and FCGR3B; resulting in tissue-specific expression of alternative membrane-anchored isoforms. FCGR3A; it is also known as CD16a; encodes a transmembrane protein expressed on activated monocytes/macrophages; natural killer (NK) cells; and a subset of T cells.CD16a / FCGR3A is a receptor expressed on NK cells that facilitates antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by binding to the Fc portion of various antibodies. CD16a / FCGR3A also has a broader function. CD16a / FCGR3A is directly involved in the lysis of some virus-infected cells and tumor cells by NK cells; independent of antibody binding. Cross-linking of CD16a / FCGR3A on NK cells resulted in increased intracellular Ca2+ levels and a cascade of biochemical events similar to those activated by the T cell receptor. CD16a / FCGR3A on human NK cells is a lysis receptor that mediates the direct killing of some virus infected and tumor cells; independent of antibody ligation.
Bio Acitivity: Immobilized Human IgG1 at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind Human CD16a. The EC50 of Human CD16a is 2. 4 - 5. 7 μg/ml. 3. Labeling ratio of biotin to protein: 0.7-1.
