CD89; immunoglobulin alpha Fc receptor; IgA Fc receptor (FCAR)

Function: - mediates a) cytokine production b) phagocytosis c) antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity d) release of inflammatory mediators - binds Fc region of IgA - associates with & induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Fc epsilon RI gamma 2 receptor Structure: - contains 2 Ig-like C2-type domains (immunoglobulin-like) Compartment: - membrane (isoform A) - secreted (isoform B) Alternative splicing: named isoforms=6; A.1,A.2,A.2,B,B-delta Expression: - granulocyte lineage cells - monocytes (isoforms A.1, A.2 & A.3) - activated eosinophils - alveolar macrophages (isoforms A.1 & A.2) - splenic macrophages - cells express only one isoform at their surfaces
