Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human FCGRT recombinant protein (Position: Q56-E291). Human FCGRT shares 70.2% and 68.9% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat FCGRT, respectively. (reported region: Q56-E291).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 50 kDa; calculated MW: 39743 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
IgG receptor FcRn large subunit p51; IgG receptor FcRn large subunit p51. IgG receptor FcRn large subunit p51?is a?protein?that in humans is encoded by the?FCGRT?gene. This gene encodes a receptor that binds the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulin G. The encoded protein transfers immunoglobulin G antibodies from mother to fetus across the placenta. This protein also binds immunoglobulin G to protect the antibody from degradation.?In addition, it is postulated that long-range cis inactivation of the?FCGRT?gene is responsible for hypercatabolism of IgG in myotonic dystrophy. The?FCGRT?gene is closely situated to the DMPK gene, which is mutant in DM.? Functional note: Binds to the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulins gamma. Mediates the uptake of IgG from milk. Possible role in transfer of immunoglobulin G from mother to fetus. Reported localization: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Expression/tissue context: Ubiquitous. Prominent expression in brain, lung, and liver. .
