Description
The Fc receptor with low affinity for IgG (FCGR3, or CD16) is encoded by 2 nearly identical genes, FCGR3A and FCGR3B, resulting in tissue-specific expression of alternative membrane-anchored isoforms. FCGR3A, it is also known as CD16a, encodes a transmembrane protein expressed on activated monocytes/macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and a subset of T cells.\CD16a / FCGR3A is a receptor expressed on NK cells that facilitates antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by binding to the Fc portion of various antibodies. CD16a / FCGR3A also has a broader function. CD16a / FCGR3A is directly involved in the lysis of some virus-infected cells and tumor cells by NK cells, independent of antibody binding. Cross-linking of CD16a / FCGR3A on NK cells resulted in increased intracellular Ca2+ levels and a cascade of biochemical events similar to those activated by the T cell receptor. CD16a / FCGR3A on human NK cells is a lysis receptor that mediates the direct killing of some virus infected and tumor cells, independent of antibody ligation. \

Expression Plasmid/cDNA
A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Gln 208) of human CD16a (AAH17865.1) was expressed, with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag. It is identical to FCGR3A158F/V in the reference.

Molecular weight
The secreted recombinant human CD16a consists of 203 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 23.3 KDa. By SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rhCD16a is approximately 48 KDa due to glycosylation.

Activity
1. Using the Octet RED System, the affinity constant (Kd) of CD16a bound to Human IgG1 was 80nM.
2.Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA.
Immobilized human CD16a-His(F158V)(Cat:503246) at 10ug/ml(100ul/well ) can bind human IgG1 with a linear range of 0.00128-0.8 μg/ml. -
