Immunoglobulin Domains

mesh:Descriptor

Compact globular protein domains of about 80 to 110 amino acids.They are characterized by two antiparallel beta sheets stabilized by HYDROPHOBIC INTERACTIONS and disulfide bonds between opposing strands. Three major subtypes of Ig domains are recognized: variable (V), intermediate (I), and constant (C1 or C2). Members of the immunoglobulin superfamily include ANTIGEN RECEPTORS; CYTOKINE RECEPTORS; and CELL ADHESION MOLECULES which possess immunoglobulin domains. Classical Ig-like domains similar to those that occur in immunoglobulin constant regions. They occur almost exclusively in molecules that function in the IMMUNE SYSTEM. Immunoglobulin-like domains similar to those of the immunoglobulin variable region. They occur in diverse protein families, including IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS; IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS; T-CELL RECEPTORS;JUNCTIONAL ADHESION MOLECULES; and RECEPTOR PROTEIN-TYROSINE KINASES.
