UniProt functional annotation for P12318

UniProt code: P12318.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulins gamma. Low affinity receptor. By binding to IgG it initiates cellular responses against pathogens and soluble antigens. Promotes phagocytosis of opsonized antigens. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011614}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with INPP5D/SHIP1 and INPPL1/SHIP2, regulating its function. Interacts with APCS and FGR. Interacts with HCK. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12690104, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011614, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8132624, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8327512}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011614}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011614}.
Tissue specificity: Found on monocytes, neutrophils and eosinophil platelets.
Ptm: Phosphorylated by SRC-type Tyr-kinases such as LYN, BLK, FYN, HCK and SYK. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8132624, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8756631}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAA35932.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
