General description
Type I allergic reactions are mediated through the IgE high affinity receptor (FceRI). When a multivalent antigen is presented, a redistribution of the monomeric IgE FceRI receptor complexes cause the degranulation of mast cells and basophils, resulting in the subsequent release of factors responsible for type I allergic reactions. The FceRI receptor is a tetrameric complex, consisting of an a-chain, b-chain and a dimeric g-chain. While the a-chain is primarily involved with the binding of IgE, the signal is transferred through the g subunit, which contains the immunoreceptor tyrosine activation motifs (ITAM) critical for initiating receptor mediated signal transduction through the Syk and Lyn tyrosine kinases. The FceRI receptor is able to engage and disengage the IgE, providing a versatile model for studying the function of kinase coupled receptors.
