Description: The AER-37 monoclonal antibody reacts with the FcεRIα subunit, an IgE-binding subunit lacking signal-transducing ability. FcεRIα is expressed on mast and basophil cells and is upregulated by the presence of IgE. FcεRIα forms a tetrameric complex with one β and two γ subunits. The β and γ subunits possess immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAM). The FcεRI complex plays an important role in triggering IgE-mediated allergic reactions.
