1.A.37.3.2
MS4A2 of 244 aas and 4 TMSs. High affinity receptor that binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulins epsilon. Aggregation of Fc epsilon receptor (FCERI) by multivalent antigens is required for the full mast cell response, including the release of preformed mediators (such as histamine) by degranulation and de novo production of lipid mediators and cytokines (Penhallow et al. 1995). Also mediates the secretion of important lymphokines. Binding of allergen to receptor-bound IgE leads to cell activation and the release of mediators responsible for the manifestations of allergy.
