MODEL OF HUMAN IGA1 DETERMINED BY SOLUTION SCATTERING CURVE-FITTING AND HOMOLOGY MODELLING
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 10064707
Disease
[IGHA1_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving IGHA1 is found in multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines. Translocation t(1;14)(q21;q32) that forms a FCRL4-IGHA1 fusion protein.
Function
[IGHA1_HUMAN] Ig alpha is the major immunoglobulin class in body secretions. It may serve both to defend against local infection and to prevent access of foreign antigens to the general immunologic system.
About this Structure
1iga is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
