IGJ

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: JCHAIN
  • Official Name: joining chain of multimeric IgA and IgM
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 3512
  • UniProt: P01591
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Serves to link two monomer units of either IgM or IgA. In the case of IgM, the J chain-joined dimer is a nucleating unit for the IgM pentamer, and in the case of IgA it induces larger polymers. It also help to bind these immunoglobulins to secretory component. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P01592}.
