Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor IIIa, also known as FcγRIIIa or CD16a, is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein. CD16a is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed on macrophages, monocytes and NK cells. CD16a binds monomeric IgG with low affinity but is efficient at binding immune complexes and functions in NK cell activation, phagocytosis and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). CD16a is structurally composed of two extracellular immunoglobulin domains of the C2-type that interact with the IgG Fc domain, a transmembrane domain and a short cytoplasmic tail. CD16a is associated with a dimer of the common Fc receptor gamma-chain which contains the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation (ITAM) motif. The product provided only contains the extracellular portion of CD16a.
CD16a has two allotypic variants differing at amino acid position 176, one containing phenylalanine (F176) and the other valine (V176). The V176 variant has a greater affinity for all the IgG subclasses and thus results in greater effector function.

To obtain a final concentration of 1 mg/ml reconstitute 250 μg vials with 250 μl water and 1.0 mg vials with 1.0 ml water. Solubilize for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature with occasional gentle mixing. Do not vortex.
All recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder and shipped at ambient temperature.
Lyophilized proteins are stable at ambient temperature for at least 2 weeks. If the protein is not to be used immediately then the protein should be stored in lyophilized form at -20 °C for up 12 months. Once the protein has been reconstituted we recommend storage at 4 °C for up to one week. For longer term storage of protein in solution we recommend aliquoting into smaller vials to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and storage at -20 or -80 °C for up to 3 months. To avoid surface adsorption loss and inactivation we strongly recommend that the protein should not be aliquoted in less than 10 μg per vial.

Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor III, also known as FcγRIII or CD16, has two isoforms: FcγRIIIa and FcγRIIIb. FcγRIIIa is composed of two extracellular immunoglobulin domains, a transmembrane domain and a shot cytoplasmic tail. On basophils and mast cells it associates with a heterodimer of γ/ζ chains and an extra β chain, whereas on other cell types it associates with a dimer of the common Fc receptor γ-chain. FcγRIIIa binds monomeric IgG with low affinity but is efficient at binding immune complexes and functions in NK cell activation, phagocytosis and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). FcγRIIIa has two allotypic variants differing at amino acid position 176, one containing phenylalanine (F176) and the other valine (V176). The V176 variant has a greater affinity for all the IgG subclasses and thus results in greater effector function.
Unlike other Fc gamma receptors, FcγRIIIb is a GPI-anchored protein containing two extracellular immunoglobulin domains and no intracellular signaling motif. It acts primarily as a decoy receptor and is expressed only on neutrophils and eosinophils. CD16b has two allotypic variants, referred to as human neutrophil antigen 1 (NA1 or HNA1a) and 2 (NA2 or HNA1b). The allotypes have differing affinities to human IgG1 and IgG3 with the NA1 form capable of better ingestion of IgG1 or opsonized IgG3 particles than NA2.

FcγRI
High affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor I, also known as FcgRI or CD64, is a type I integral membrane glycoprotein. CD64 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed on monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and activated granulocytes. CD64 binds with high affinity to the Fc domain of IgG and it plays a role in antigen capture, phagocytosis of IgG/antigen complexes, and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). CD64 is structurally composed of three extracellular immunoglobulin domains of the C2-type that interact with the IgG Fc domain, a transmembrane domain and a short cytoplasmic tail. CD64 is associated with a dimer of the common Fc receptor gamma-chain which contains the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation (ITAM) motif. The product provided only contains the extracellular portion of CD64.

FcγRII
Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc receptor II, also known as FcgRII or CD32, is actually a collection of three highly related isoforms: FcgRIIa (CD32a), FcgRIIb (CD32b) and FcgRIIc (CD32c). They all consist of two extracellular immunoglobulin domains, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail with an intrinsic signaling motif. CD32a and CD32c contain an activatory motif (ITAM) and FcγRIIb contains an inhibitory motif (ITAM).
CD32a is the most widely expressed isoform and is found on monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes and platelets. FcγRIIa binds monomeric IgG with low affinity but is very efficient at binding immune complexes and is involved in phagocytosis and clearing of immune complexes. CD32a has two allotypic variants differing at amino acid position 167, one containing histidine (H167) and the other arginine (R167). H131 exhibits a higher affinity to human IgG1 and IgG2 than the R167 does and is thought to be primarily responsible for the phagocytosis of IgG-opsonized bacteria.
Synonyms: CD32, CD32A, Fc gamma R2, Fc gamma R2a, Fc gamma RII, Fc gamma RIIa, Fcg R2, Fcg R2a, Fcg RII, Fcg RIIa, FCGR2, FCGR2A, FCGRII, FCGRIIA, FCR2, FCR2A, FCRII, FCRIIA
CD32b is highly expressed on B-cells, where is it the only surface expressed FcγR, and at much lower levels on monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells. CD32b binds monomeric IgG with low affinity but is efficient at binding immune complexes and is a negative regulator of cell activation, proliferation, endocytosis, phagocytosis, and degranulation.
Synonyms: CD32, CD32B, CD32b/c, Fc gamma R2, Fc gamma R2b, Fc gamma RII, Fc gamma RIIb, Fcg R2, Fcg R2b, Fcg RII, Fcg RIIb, FCGR2, FCGR2B, Fcgr2b/c, FCGRII, FCGRIIB, FCR2, FCR2B, FCRII, FCRIIB
