Background

IgG receptor FcRn large subunit p51?is a?protein?that in humans is encoded by the?FCGRT?gene. This gene encodes a receptor that binds the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulin G. The encoded protein transfers immunoglobulin G antibodies from mother to fetus across the placenta. This protein also binds immunoglobulin G to protect the antibody from degradation.?In addition, it is postulated that long-range cis inactivation of the?FCGRT?gene is responsible for hypercatabolism of IgG in myotonic dystrophy. The?FCGRT?gene is closely situated to the DMPK gene, which is mutant in DM.?
