Official Full Name: Fc gamma receptor IIb
Also known as: CD32; FCG2; CD32B; FCGR2; IGFR2; FCGR2C; FcGRIIB; FcRII-c; FcgammaRIIb
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.
