Tree Number(s): D12.776.124.486.485.538; D12.776.124.790.651.538; D12.776.377.715.548.538
Unique ID: D007127
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007127
Scope Note: The domains of the immunoglobulin molecules that are invariable in their amino acid sequence within any class or subclass of immunoglobulin. They confer biological as well as structural functions to immunoglobulins. One each on both the light chains and the heavy chains comprises the C-terminus half of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN FAB FRAGMENT and two or three of them make up the rest of the heavy chains (all of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN FC FRAGMENT)
