Source: NCBI Gene (ID 15985)
Symbol: Cd79b
Full name: CD79B antigen
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: B29; Ig-beta; Igb; Igbeta
Summary: The 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, Sep 2015]
