Crystal structure of human FcaRI bound to IgA1-Fc
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 12768205
Disease
[IGHA1_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving IGHA1 is found in multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines. Translocation t(1;14)(q21;q32) that forms a FCRL4-IGHA1 fusion protein.
Function
[IGHA1_HUMAN] Ig alpha is the major immunoglobulin class in body secretions. It may serve both to defend against local infection and to prevent access of foreign antigens to the general immunologic system. [FCAR_HUMAN] Binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulins alpha. Mediates several functions including cytokine production.
