SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	binding to the Fc region of immunoglobulins gamma
	playing a role in the potentiation of platelet activation induced by weak stimulation
	FCGR2A engagement of tissue soluble immune complexes generates NETs (neutrophil extracellular traps), a proinflammatory process linked to autoimmunity

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

GZMB is an important mediator of FCGR2A function in human monocytes

cell & other

REGULATION

activated by

in platelets downstream G-protein-coupled receptors (may be a novel general mechanism for the reinforcement of platelet activation induced by low concentrations of agonists) (Canobbio 2006)

ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

corresponding disease(s)

Susceptibility

to glomerulonephritis in Caucasoid patients with lupus erythematosus to acute coronary syndromes (ACS) to severe falciparum malaria to Kawasaki disease to Takayasu arteritis

Variant & Polymorphism SNP	Fc gamma RIIa-H/R131, over-represented
	association of the R/R131 genotype with a more frequent occurrence of ACS as the first manifestation of coronary artery disease
	FCGR2a131RR positively associated with severe falciparum malaria and, more specifically, with severe malarial anaemia, one of the most prevalent malaria complications
	rs1801274 in FCGR2A highly associated to Kawasaki disease
	genetic association between Takayasu arteritis and the FCGR2A/FCGR3A locus
