Symbol: CD79B
Full name: CD79b molecule
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: AGM6; B29; 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, Jul 2008]
