-  Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
  ID: FCERB_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=High affinity immunoglobulin epsilon receptor subunit beta; Short=FcERI; AltName: Full=Fc epsilon receptor I beta-chain; AltName: Full=IgE Fc receptor subunit beta; AltName: Full=Membrane-spanning 4-domains subfamily A member 2;
FUNCTION: High affinity receptor that binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulins epsilon. Aggregation of FCER1 by multivalent antigens is required for the full mast cell response, including the release of preformed mediators (such as histamine) by degranulation and de novo production of lipid mediators and cytokines. Also mediates the secretion of important lymphokines. Binding of allergen to receptor-bound IgE leads to cell activation and the release of mediators responsible for the manifestations of allergy.
SUBUNIT: Tetramer of an alpha chain, a beta chain, and two disulfide linked gamma chains. Binds LILRB1. Interacts with FGR, FES/FPS and LYN (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found on the surface of mast cells and basophils.
PTM: Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by LYN (By similarity).
POLYMORPHISM: Variant Glu-237 has been found to be present in about 5.3% of a 1004 individuals population sample in Australia. It seems to be a risk factor for atopic dermatitis and asthma.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MS4A family.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
