Anti-Mouse CD16/32, Elab Fluor(R) 488 conjugated, clone 2.4G2

CD16 is low affinity IgG Fc receptor III (FcR III) and CD32 is FcR II. CD16/CD32 are expressed on B cells, monocytes/macrophages, NK cells, granulocytes, mast cells, and dendritic cells. The Fc receptors bind antibody-antigen immune complexes and mediate adaptive immune responses. Protein function: Receptor for the Fc region of complexed immunoglobulins gamma. Low affinity receptor. Involved in a variety of effector and regulatory functions such as phagocytosis of antigen-antibody complexes from the circulation and modulation of antibody production by B-cells. Isoform IIB1 and isoform IIB1' form caps but fail to mediate endocytosis or phagocytosis. Isoform IIB2 can mediate the endocytosis of soluble immune complexes via clathrin-coated pits. Isoform IIB1 and isoform IIB2 can down-regulate B-cell, T-cell, and mast cell activation when coaggregated to B-cell receptors for AG (BCR), T-cell receptors for AG (TCR), and Fc receptors, respectively.
