“…Fc-gamma receptors (Fc␥Rs) are essential for the recognition and elimination of immunoglobulin G (IgG)-opsonized patho-gens and immune complexes, as well as clearance of senescent erythrocytes and platelets. They are important for immune surveillance mechanisms and have been implicated in immunohematologic and autoimmune disorders [1][2][3][4][5]. Fc␥Rs bind to the constant region of IgG and mediate downstream events that are intimately linked to the size of the opsonized complex.…”

“…Members of the human Fc␥R family can be divided into four subclasses (Fc␥RI, Fc␥RII, Fc␥RIII, and Fc␥RIV) based on size, affinity for IgG, biochemical structure, reactivity with mAbs, and cellular and tissue distribution [1,2,17]. Among the activating Fc␥Rs, Fc␥RI and Fc␥RIIA illustrate different structural requirements for induction of signaling events.…”

“…Both activating (FcγRI, FcγRIIA, FcγRIII) and inhibitory (FcγRIIB) FcγRs participate in phagocytosis of IgG-coated particles, allowing for strict self-regulation among the FcR classes through cytoplasmic activation and inhibition motifs [10; 11]. FcγRIIA is a 40 kDa transmembrane receptor found on neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and platelets [12]. FcγRIIA can initiate phagocytosis of large IgG-coated targets or endocytosis of small IgG containing immune complexes.…”

“…Most signaling is initiated by the immunoreceptor tyrosine based activation motif (ITAM) sequence located in the cytoplasmic domain. The ITAM of FcγRIIA is slightly different than traditional ITAM sequences due to the extra intervening residues between the dual YxxL motifs (Y-M-T-L-12aa -Y-L-T-L) and is therefore referred to as an ITAM-like region (reviewed in[12]).…”
