Test:

A high affinity purification column was use to purify FceRI, alpha (Fc epsilon RI alpha, FCE1A, FCER1A, Immunoglobulin epsilon Receptor Subunit alpha, IgE Receptor) by MyBioSource by chromatographic size exclusion.

Properties:

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) kappa or Fc specific antibody is a kind of antibody (or immunoglobulin (Ig) "isotype") that has only been found in mammals. IgE is synthesized by plasma cells. Monomers of IgE consist of two heavy chains (ε chain) and two light chains, with the ε chain containing 4 Ig-like constant domains (Cε1-Cε4). IgEs play a role in allergy and response to parasite infection. High levels of IgEs caused by parasites can lower the allergic reaction of patients to allergens common present in the human environment. As such the parasite history of an allergic patient needs to be taken in consideration as a positive factor.

Description:

The FceRI, alpha (Fc epsilon RI alpha, FCE1A, FCER1A, Immunoglobulin epsilon Receptor Subunit alpha, IgE Receptor) is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood.The receptors are ligand binding factors of type 1, 2 or 3 and protein-molecules that receive chemical-signals from outside a cell. When such chemical-signals couple or bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue-response, e.g. a change in the electrical-activity of a cell. In this sense, am olfactory receptor is a protein-molecule that recognizes and responds to endogenous-chemical signals, chemokinesor cytokines e.g. an acetylcholine-receptor recognizes and responds to its endogenous-ligand, acetylcholine. However, sometimes in pharmacology, the term is also used to include other proteins that are drug-targets, such as enzymes, transporters and ion-channels.
