Biological function summary
The B2M and FCGRT complex ensures proper IgG homeostasis in the body. This process allows the maintenance of high levels of circulating IgG without constant new synthesis. The B2M & FCGRT protein complex engages in transcytosis and recycling which are important for immune surveillance and pathogen neutralization. B2M associates with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules further aiding in antigen presentation alongside its role in the B2M protein complex.
Pathways
B2M & FCGRT interaction is part of the IgG salvage pathway. This pathway efficiently recycles IgG antibodies a step necessary for sustained immunity. The FCGRT receptor relies on the association with proteins like albumin to maintain this recycling route. B2M is also known to affect pathways including antigen processing and cross-presentation connecting it with proteins involved in adaptive immune responses.

General info
Function
Cell surface receptor that transfers passive humoral immunity from the mother to the newborn. Binds to the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulin gamma and mediates its selective uptake from milk (PubMed : 7504013). IgG in the milk is bound at the apical surface of the intestinal epithelium. The resultant FcRn-IgG complexes are transcytosed across the intestinal epithelium and IgG is released from FcRn into blood or tissue fluids. Throughout life, contributes to effective humoral immunity by recycling IgG and extending its half-life in the circulation. Mechanistically, monomeric IgG binding to FcRn in acidic endosomes of endothelial and hematopoietic cells recycles IgG to the cell surface where it is released into the circulation. In addition of IgG, regulates homeostasis of the other most abundant circulating protein albumin/ALB.
