Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a dimeric glycoprotein that inhibits the development of the Müllerian ducts in a male embryo. It is named after Johannes...
Aitman et al. showed that copy number variation of the orthologous rat and human Fcgr3 genes is a determinant of susceptibility to immunologically mediated...
CD32 is a surface receptor protein and part of a large population of B cell co-receptors. It has a low-affinity for IgG antibodies and down-regulates...
CD64 is a type of integral membrane glycoprotein known as an Fc receptor that binds monomeric IgG-type antibodies with high affinity. It is more commonly...
Only one Fc receptor belongs to the Fc alpha R subgroup, which is called Fc alpha RI (or CD89). Fc alpha RI is found on the surface of neutrophils,...
