If an allergen binds both IgG and IgE molecules, it will trigger signals through both Fc receptors. The inhibitory signal dominates.

FcεRI pathways are phosphorylations, multiple phosphatases, such as SHPs, SHIPs, and PTEN, play an important role in dampening receptor signaling.

Lyn, can play a negative as well as a positive role in FcεRI signaling by phosphorylating and activating the inhibitory FcεRIIB.

FcεRI signalling through Lyn and Syk kinases also activates E3 ubiquitin ligases, including c-Cbl. Cbl ubiquitinylates Lyn and Syk, as well as FcεRI itself, triggering their degradation.

The early response occurs within minutes of allergen exposure and results from the release of histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins from local mast cells.
