Cytoplasmic expression in endothelial cells in placenta and subsets of lymphoid cells.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly not consistent with RNA expression data. Caution, targets protein from more than one gene. Antibody staining in cells/structures not annotated, view images.
Most cancer tissues were negative. A few cases of lymphomas showed strong cytoplasmic staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FCGR2B (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CD32, CD32B, FCG2, FCGR2
Description
Fc fragment of IgG, low affinity IIb, receptor (CD32) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a low affinity receptor for the Fc region of immunoglobulin gamma complexes. The encoded protein is involved in the phagocytosis of immune complexes and in the regulation of antibody production by B-cells. Variations in this gene may increase susceptibilty to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
