What is Fc receptors?
Fc receptors, the receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulins, play an essential role in antibody-dependent immune responses. An Fc receptor is a protein found on the surface of certain cells, and are detected on many types of hematopoietic cells including macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, and NK cells. Fc receptors bind to antibodies that are attached to infected cells or invading pathogens.
