The neonatal fragment crystallizable (Fc) receptor (also FcRn, IgG receptor FcRn large subunit p51, or Brambell receptor) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FCGRT gene.[1][2][3] It is an IgG Fc receptor which is similar in structure to the MHC class I molecule and also associates with beta-2-microglobulin.[4][5] In rodents, FcRn was originally identified as the receptor that transports maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG) from mother to neonatal offspring via mother's milk, leading to its name as the neonatal Fc receptor.[6][7] In humans, FcRn is present in the placenta where it transports mother's IgG to the growing fetus.[1][8] FcRn has also been shown to play a role in regulating IgG and serum albumin turnover.[9][10][11][12][13] Neonatal Fc receptor expression is up-regulated by the proinflammatory cytokine, TNF, and down-regulated by IFN-γ.[14]
