PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a sequence of some 110 aminoacids folded to form a compact immunoglobulin domain with both ends joined together by a disulfide bond
  • made of three hypervariable regions (complementary-determining regions) located on the N terminal part of the sequence
  • the remaining part being relatively constant and forming the framework
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY Immunoglobulin superfamily
    CATEGORY immunity/defense
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
        plasma membrane
        intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm
    basic FUNCTION
  • forming the antigen binding site together with the cognate region of the light chain
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS immunity/defense
    text humoral immunity, antibody synthesis
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component of the immunoglobulin molecules which are tetramers of two identical heavy chains and two identicallight chains, either kappa or lambda, bound by disulfide bonds. made of three hypervariable regions (complementary-determining regions) located on the N terminal part of the sequence
  • the remaining part being relatively constant and forming the framework
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • C-terminal end covalently bound to the DJ segment by the V(D)J recombination system (see RAG1, RAG2)
  • during the process, a random loss or gain of nucleotides occurs (junctional diversification)
  • bound by a disulfide bond to a variable light chain
  • cell & other
