FcRn Plays a Key Role in IgG and Albumin Homeostasis Studies have shown: 1 2 3 Circulating antibodies are taken up in the cell via pinocytosis. In the endosome, IgG antibodies bind to FcRn¹,2 argenx Unbound IgGs enter the lysosomal degradation pathway, while FcRn-bound IgGs are rescued from degradation ¹,2 The IgG antibodies bound by FcRn are then released back into circulation, thereby extending their half-life ¹,2 Albumin is recycled by FcRn, independently of IgG FcRn, neonatal fragment crystallizable receptor; IgG, immunoglobulin G.
