Background
Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III-B, also known as Fc-gamma RIII-beta, FcR-10, IgG Fc receptor III-1, FCG3, FCGR3, CD16b and FCGR3B. FCGR3B is a GPI-anchor membrane protein and contains two Ig-like C2 type domains. FCGR3B can be expressed in orphonuclear leukocytes and stimulated eosinophils. FCGR3B can interact with INPP5D/SHIP1. FCGR3B localizes in the FCGR gene cluster is a CN polymorphic gene involved in the recruitment of polymorphonuclear neutrophils to sites of inflammation and their activation. FCGR3B may serve as a trap for immune complexes in the peripheral circulation which does not activate neutrophils.
