| Immunopharmacology Comments |
| FcμRI is the cognate Fc receptor for immunoglobulin M (IgM) [3-4,8]. FcμRI was previously known as Toso, and had been reported as an inhibitor of Fas-mediated apoptosis [2]. Experimental confirmation of this functional activity lead to naming of the human and mouse genes as FAIM3 (Fas apoptosis inhibitory molecule 3) [7,9]. FcμRI and IgM play functional roles in regulation of the immune system, clearance of pathogens, dead cells and damaged tissues, and the maintainance of immune homeostasis under physiological and pathological conditions [10]. Unlike IgG-Fcβ receptor interactions that are modulated by the glycosylation state of the antibody, IgM-FcμRI binding and subsequent internalisation are glycan independent [4]. FcμRI overexpression has been reported as a potential prognostic marker for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) progression [1], as its expression is significantly upregulated in leukemic lymphocytes derived from patients with CLL compared to healthy controls [1,5-6]. |
