抗体,也叫免疫球蛋白(Ig),是一种能特异性结合抗原的糖蛋白,而抗原是在易感染动物体内引发抗体产生的物质。在体内,抗体是由于外源性分子的侵袭而产生的。抗体以一个或者多个Y字形单体存在,每个Y字形单体由4条多肽链组成,包含两条相同的重链和两条相同的轻链。轻链和重链是根据它们的分子量大小来命名的。Y字形结构的顶端是可变区,为抗原结合部位。任何一个抗体的轻链都可以分为κ或λ型(基于小分子多肽结构上的差异),每一个抗体的重链则决定了它的类或型。
The protein encoded by this gene is a death domain containing adaptor molecule that interacts with TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and mediates programmed cell death signaling and NF-kappaB activation. This protein binds adaptor protein TRAF2, reduces the recruitment of inhibitor-of-apoptosis proteins (IAPs) by TRAF2, and thus suppresses TRAF2 mediated apoptosis. This protein can also interact with receptor TNFRSF6/FAS and adaptor protein FADD/MORT1, and is involved in the Fas-induced cell death pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
