Abstract excerpt
The human IgA FcR (FcalphaRI; CD89) mediates a variety of immune system functions including degranulation, endocytosis, phagocytosis, cytokine synthesis, and cytokine release. We have identified a common, nonsynonymous, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the coding region of CD89 (844A-->G) (rs16986050), which changes codon 248 from AGC (Ser(248)) to GGC (Gly(248)) in the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor....
