Scientific Background

FCAR, Receptor for Fc fragment of IGA, is also known as CD89. Human Fc-alpha receptor (FCAR) is present on a number of cell types, including neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils. FCAR interacts with aggregated IgAs, such as IgA coated on the surface of an invading microorganism, and mediates several immunologic defense processes such as phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and stimulation of the release of inflammatory mediators. FCAR is a glycoprotein of 50 to 100 kD, with diversity on different cell types. FCAR is mapped to 19q13.4. Human COS cells transfected with FCAR cDNA bind to IgA, but not IgG.
