Related Product Information for anti-Lambda Light Chain antibody

Antibody producing cells of the immune system require multiple rearrangements of immunoglobulin (antibody, Ig) genes. Immunoglobulins are four-chain, Y-shaped, monomeric structures of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains held together through interchain disulfide bonds. Immunoglobulins in vertebrates help to remove non-self molecules or cells (antigens) by recognizing and binding to the antigen and carrying out effector functions that activate the immune system. Variable genetic combinations of the five heavy chain classes (M, D, G, E and A) and the two light chain isotypes, Kappa and Lambda, confer the role of an antibody. The variable region genes encoding immunoglobulin Kappa and Lambda chains are assembled from three DNA segments, the V, C and J genes. Kappa and Lambda consist of a variable region and a constant region and can easily be differentiated by the antigenic properties of the constant region. The ratio of Kappa to Lambda is 70:30, the vast majority of which is bound to heavy-chain in immunoglobulin.

Uniprot Description

IGLV1-51: V segment of the variable region of immunoglobulins light chain that participates to the antigen recognition. Immunoglobulins (Igs), also known as antibodies, are membrane- bound or secreted glycoproteins produced by B lymphocytes. In the recognition phase of humoral immunity, the membrane-bound Igs serve as receptors which, upon binding of a specific antigen (Ag), trigger the clonal expansion and differentiation of B lymphocytes into Ig-secreting plasma cells. Secreted Igs mediate the effector phase of humoral immunity, which results in the elimination of bound antigens (PubMed:20176268, PubMed:22158414). The antigen binding site is formed by the variable region of one heavy chain, together with that of its associated light chain. Thus, each Ig has two antigen binding sites with remarkable affinity for a particular antigen. The variable regions are assembled by a process called V(D)J recombination and can then be subjected to somatic hypermutation after exposure to antigen to allow affinity maturation for a particular Ag (PubMed:20176268, PubMed:17576170). {ECO:0000303|PubMed:17576170, ECO:0000303|PubMed:20176268, ECO:0000303|PubMed:22158414}. Immunoglobulins are composed of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains, linked by disulfide bonds. {ECO:0000303|PubMed:20176268}
