Fc receptor-like molecule
Fc receptor-like molecules (FCRLs) are a class of proteins that resemble
antibodies. Their function is unknown.[1]
It has been indicated that FCRLs may be a unique marker for immune cells in the brain called microglia, compared to other CNS cells and peripheral immune cells.[2]
