B-Cell Antigen Receptor Complex-Associated Protein Beta Chain (CD79B) Antibody

Background

CD79B, also known as Ig-beta, is a protein encoded by the CD79B gene in humans. It is an integral component of the B cell receptor (BCR) complex, which is crucial for B cell development, activation, and function. The BCR complex consists of membrane-bound immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules associated with the CD79A (Ig-alpha) and CD79B (Ig-beta) heterodimer. This complex plays a pivotal role in the immune system by recognizing specific antigens, initiating signaling cascades that lead to B cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation. The importance of CD79B in immune responses and its implications in various clinical conditions make it a significant focus of immunological research.
