CD79b / VioBright FITC / REA120

Product Details

Description	Clone REA120 detects the extracellular epitope of CD79b, the beta chain of heterodimeric molecule CD79. CD79 is composed of an alpha chain (CD79a) and a beta chain (CD79b) and is associated with surface immunoglobulins (Igs) to form the B cell receptor (BCR). CD79b is 37–39 kDa type I integral membrane protein and like CD79a contains an intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). CD79a/CD79b heterodimer facilitates differentiation of pre–B cells from pro–B cells, surface expression of sIg, signal transduction following antigen recognition, and enodocytosis of recognised antigens. Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B cells lack a functional BCR which is often associated with mutations in CD79b coding region. \| Additional information: Clone REA120 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. \|

About CD79b
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]
