Gene information for CD79A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID973
Official gene symbolCD79A
Full nameCD79a molecule, immunoglobulin-associated alpha
Aliases,IGA,MB-1,
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-alpha protein of the B-cell antigen component. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
