Background Information
The neonatal Fc receptor for IgG (FcRn) is a membrane-associated receptor which acts as a key determinant of IgG homeostasis. FcRn is similar in structure to major histocompatibility class I molecules. It is a heterodimer composed of a alpha chain associated with β2-microglobulin. FcRn transfers IgG from the mother to the fetus across the placenta and the proximal small intestine. In addition, throughout life, FcRn protects IgG from degradation and thus regulates the serum half-life of IgG (PMID: 17703228).
