IgG FcRs are important mediators of immunity and play a key role during Ab-based immunotherapy. Within the leukocyte IgG receptor family, only Fc?RI is capable of IgG binding with high affinity. Fc?RI exists as a complex of a ligand binding ?-chain and an FcR ?-chain. The receptors' ?-chain can, furthermore, elicit several functions independent of the ITAM-bearing FcR ?-chain. Functional implications of high-affinity IgG binding and mechanisms underlying FcR ?-chain-independent signaling remain unclear to this day. In this paper, we provide an overview of past literature on Fc?RI and address the implications of recently described interactions between cytosolic proteins and the Fc?RI ?-chain, as well as cytokine-enhanced Fc?RI immune complex binding. Furthermore, an analysis of potential polymorphisms within the FCGR1A gene is provided.
