NCIt related terms : Anti-FcRn Monoclonal Antibody SYNT001;
NCIt definition : A monoclonal antibody that targets the neonatal crystallizable fragment receptor (FcRn),
with potential immunomodulating activity. Upon administration, orilanolimab targets
and binds to FcRn at the immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding site, thereby preventing the
interaction between FcRn and the serum protein IgG. By preventing FcRn/IgG binding,
SYNT001 blocks the FcRn-mediated rescue of IgG, enables IgG degradation and prevents
IgG-mediated inflammation. IgG plays a key role in many autoimmune diseases and is
an important factor in inflammatory processes.;
