Gene information for CD79B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID974
Official gene symbolCD79B
Full nameCD79b molecule, immunoglobulin-associated beta
Aliases,B29,IGB,
Gene summaryThe B lymphocyte antigen receptor is a multimeric complex that includes the antigen-specific component, surface immunoglobulin (Ig). Surface Ig non-covalently associates with two other proteins, Ig-alpha and Ig-beta, which are necessary for expression and function of the B-cell antigen receptor. This gene encodes the Ig-beta protein of the B-cell antigen component. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
