anti-CD16 antibody [3G8] (APC)
anti-CD16 antibody [3G8] (APC) for Flow cytometry and Primates,Human
Overview
| Product Description | APC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal antibody [3G8] recognizes CD16 |
|---|---|
| Tested Reactivity | Hu, NHuPrm |
| Tested Application | FACS |
| Specificity | The mouse monoclonal antibody 3G8 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD16, a low affinity receptor for aggregated IgG (FcgammaRIII antigen). CD16 exists in two different isoforms: CD16a (FcgammaRIIIA; 50-65 kDa; expressed on NK-cells, monocytes and macrophages) and CD16b (FcgammaRIIIB; 48 kDa; mainly expressed on neutrophils). |

Swiss-port # P08637 Human Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III-A |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | FCGR3A |
| Gene Full Name | Fc fragment of IgG, low affinity IIIa, receptor (CD16a) |
| Background | This gene encodes a receptor for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G, and it is involved in the removal of antigen-antibody complexes from the circulation, as well as other other antibody-dependent responses. This gene (FCGR3A) is highly similar to another nearby gene (FCGR3B) located on chromosome 1. The receptor encoded by this gene is expressed on natural killer (NK) cells as an integral membrane glycoprotein anchored through a transmembrane peptide, whereas FCGR3B is expressed on polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) where the receptor is anchored through a phosphatidylinositol (PI) linkage. Mutations in this gene have been linked to susceptibility to recurrent viral infections, susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus, and alloimmune neonatal neutropenia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Receptor for the Fc region of IgG. Binds complexed or aggregated IgG and also monomeric IgG. Mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and other antibody-dependent responses, such as phagocytosis. [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Secreted. Note=Exists also as a soluble receptor. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 29 kDa |
| PTM | Glycosylated. Contains high mannose- and complex-type oligosaccharides. Glycosylation at Asn-180 is mandatory for high affinity binding to the Fc and for discrimination between fucosylated and afucosylated IgG glycoforms. The soluble form is produced by a proteolytic cleavage. [UniProt] |
