簡要描述：FcRN present in the intestinal epithelium of neonatal mice and rats mediates the selective uptake of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in mothers' milk, thereby helping newborn animals to acquire passive immunity. FcRn (also designated FCGRT, Brambell receptor, FcRn å chain, IgG Gc receptor and neonatal Fc-receptor) is comprised of a heavy chain and ∫-2-Microglobulin. FcRn heavy chain shows approximately 35% amino acid identity to an MHC class I molecule. FcRN localizes in endosomes of vascular
