Fc receptor

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13138
Receptors expressed on a wide range of cells, interacting with the Fc portion of immunoglobulins (Ig) belonging to various isotypes.
Note: Membrane-bound Fc receptors mediate different effector functions [e.g., endocytosis, antibody-dependent-cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)] and induce mediator release. Both the membrane-bound and soluble forms of Fc receptors regulate antibody production by B lymphocytes.
