PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a signal sequence, two Ig-like extracellular domain
	a single transmembrane (TM) domain (TM1)
	a protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation consensus motif [RSSTR], pecifically phosphorylated by PKCs
	a short cytoplasmic tail whose expression at the cell surface depends on association with the signaling adaptor molecules CD247 and/or FCER1G

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	mediating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and other antibody-dependent responses, such as phagocytosis
	plays a prominent role in the elimination of tumor cells by antibody-based cancer therapies
	is involved in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD) by activating monocytes and stimulating inflammation
	role for FCGR3B in the removal of soluble immune complexes within the vasculature that may serve to maintain homeostasis
	FCGR3A and PRF1 may participate in the pathogenesis and progression of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)
	shedding of FCGR3A/CD16A was at least partially ADAM17 dependent, and it may be considered as a marker of FCGR3A/CD16A-independent NK cell activation highly correlated with degranulation
	FCGR3A, FCGR3B are IgG Fc receptors expressed by human natural killer (NK) cells and neutrophils, respectively
	association of the adaptor modules FCER1G or CD247 with FCGR3A not only is required for progression of this receptor through the secretory pathway and cell surface expression but also protects the FCGR3A protein from degradation

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	over-activation of ADAM17 in NK cells may be detrimental to their effector functions by down-regulating surface expression of FCGR3A and SELL
	MMP25 is a proteinase responsible for FCGR3A downmodulation
	FCGR3A cleavage by ADAM17, but non-cleavable version of FCGR3A can be expressed in engineered NK cells (
	expression of the FCGR3A depends on a noncovalent association with the signaling dimers FCER1G and/or CD247
	FCGR3A requires association with adaptor modules for cell surface expression but shows no preference for assembly with either CD247 or FCER1G

Susceptibility

to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to viral infections, recurrent and neutropenia, alloimmune neonatal to Takayasu arteritis to HIV infection and progression to immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Variant & Polymorphism other	genetic association between Takayasu arteritis and the FCGR2A/FCGR3A locus
	homozygous for the high activity allele of FCGR3A (158VV) were predominantly found among HIV progressors and this group was also skewed toward higher allele frequencies for the V158 variant
	FCGR3A (158V/F) polymorphism, known to increase the affinity of FCGR3A to IgG, was over-represented in ITP patients
