    English: Schematic diagram of the basic unit of immunoglobulin (antibody) Fab; Fc; heavy chain (consist of VH, CH1, hinge, CH2 and CH3 regions: from N-term) light chain (consist of VL and CL regions: from N-term) antigen binding site; hinge regions (*) -S-S-mean disulfide bonds.

  3. Immunoglobulin heavy chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_heavy_chain

    The immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) is the large polypeptide subunit of an antibody (immunoglobulin). In human genome, the IgH gene loci are on chromosome 14. A typical antibody is composed of two immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chains and two Ig light chains. Several different types of heavy chain exist that define the class or isotype of an ...

  4. Immunoglobulin light chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_light_chain

    An antibody molecule. The two heavy chains are colored red, blue, and purple. The two light chains green and yellow. See also: The immunoglobulin light chain is the small polypeptide subunit of an antibody (immunoglobulin). A typical antibody is composed of two immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chains and two Ig light chains.

  5. Organization and expression of immunoglobulin genes

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organization_and...

    Antibody (or immunoglobulin) structure is made up of two heavy-chains and two light-chains.These chains are held together by disulfide bonds.The arrangement or processes that put together different parts of this antibody molecule play important role in antibody diversity and production of different subclasses or classes of antibodies.

  6. Immunoglobulin A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_A

    Colors are: H-chains (blue and light blue), L-chains (red and light red), J-chain (magenta) and the secretory component (yellow). Coordinates of each backbone carbon atom were derived PDB entry 3cm9. [2] Immunoglobulin A (Ig A, also referred to as sIgA in its secretory form) is an antibody that plays a role in the immune function of mucous ...

  7. Complementarity-determining region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementarity...

    Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are polypeptide segments of the variable chains in immunoglobulins (antibodies) and T cell receptors, generated by B-cells and T-cells respectively. CDRs are where these molecules bind to their specific antigen and their structure/sequence determines the binding activity of the respective antibody.

  8. Framework region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_region

    Each heavy and light chain is composed of one variable region and one constant region (shown as V or C). The variable regions are composed of 7 amino acid segments; three of which are hypervariable regions or CDR (yellow) and four of which are FR(shown in green for heavy chains and pink for light chains).

  9. Immunoglobulin superfamily - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_superfamily

    In humans, there are five distinct types of immunoglobulin molecule all containing a heavy chain with four Ig domains and a light chain with two Ig domains. The antigen receptor of T cells is the T-cell receptor (TCR), which is composed of two chains, either the TCR-alpha and -beta chains, or the TCR-delta and gamma chains.
