FcRn(Neonatal Fc Receptor)
For a long time, IgG has been the only class of antibodies that are actively transferred from mother to offspring. This results in short-term passive immunity, and the specific IgG transport is accomplished by FcRn. In 1972, Jones et.al. first identified a receptor that transport maternal IgG to newborns in the gut of neonatal rats, hence after it was named as Neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). FcRn expression during pregnancy and lactation plays a role in transporting IgG across the placental barrier and the intestinal tract. A variety of tissue cells can be detected throughout the life cycle. The main function is to maintain the level of IgG and albumin in the serum and regulate the distribution in the tissue.
FcRn is a heterodimer composed of two subunits, FCGRT and B2M. FCGRT has three extracellular functional regions including three soluble domains (α1, α2, and α3), a single transmembrane helix and a cytoplasmic tail (some studies showed the cytoplasmic tail region composed of 44 amino acid residues that may contain signals that mediate intracellular pathways). Its molecular weight is 40 to 50 kDa, called the α chain while the molecular weight of B2M is 14 kDa, called the β chain. The two chains are joining in the form of non-covalent bonds. FCGRT must be assembled with B2M to play a transport role. Studies have shown that the binding site of FcRn with IgG and serum albumin is not the same, so the binding of FcRn to IgG is not interfered by serum albumin.
