Immunoglobulin G proteins, more commonly referred to as antibodies, make up a large family of secreted proteins that are potent regulators of the immune system. Furthermore, Immunoglobulin G proteins are the most common type of antibodies present in the serum, and utilize their two identical, but very unique, binding sites to recognize pathogens. It is these binding sites that differ in amino acid sequence between each Immunoglobulin G protein in a particular organism, giving each antibody a different binding target -- ultimately giving the immune system a large class of weapons that can bind to and recognize almost any foreign pathogen.
