Evidence for Extensive Duplication and Subfunctionalization of FCRL6 in Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus). [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 The control of infections by the vertebrate adaptive immune system requires careful modulation to optimize defense and minimize harm to the host. The Fc receptor-like (FCRL) genes encode immunoregulatory molecules homologous to the receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin (FCR). To date, nine different genes (FCRL1–6, FCRLA, FCRLB and FCRLS) have
