Ighm

  • Official Full Name

    Immunoglobulin heavy constant mu

  • Overview

    Immunoglobulins (Ig) are the antigen recognition molecules of B cells. An Ig molecule is made up of 2 identical heavy;chains and 2 identical light chains (see MIM 147200) joined by disulfide bonds so that each heavy chain is linked to a;light chain and the 2 heavy chains are linked together. Each Ig heavy chain has an N-terminal variable (V) region;containing the antigen-binding site and a C-terminal constant (C) region, encoded by an individual C region gene, that;determines the isotype of the antibody and provides effector or signaling functions. The heavy chain V region is;encoded by 1 each of 3 types of genes: V genes (see MIM 147070), joining (J) genes (see MIM 147010), and diversity (D);genes (see MIM 146910). The C region genes are clustered downstream of the V region genes within the heavy chain locus;on chromosome 14. The IGHM gene encodes the C region of the mu heavy chain, which defines the IgM isotype. Naive B;cells express the transmembrane forms of IgM and IgD (see IGHD; MIM 1471770) on their surface. During an antibody;response, activated B cells can switch to the expression of individual downstream heavy chain C region genes by a;process of somatic recombination known as isotype switching. In addition, secreted Ig forms that act as antibodies can;be produced by alternative RNA processing of the heavy chain C region sequences. Although the membrane forms of all Ig;isotypes are monomeric, secreted IgM forms pentamers, and occasionally hexamers, in plasma (summary by Janeway et al.,;2005).
