Fcer2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including IgE binding activity; low-affinity IgE receptor activity; and protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including B cell antigen processing and presentation; endocytosis; and macrophage activation. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of humoral immune response mediated by circulating immunoglobulin. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human FCER2 (Fc epsilon receptor II). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Fcer2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
