Definition
English
:
A segment of the
immunoglobulin heavy chains
, encoded by the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAIN
GENES
in the J segment where, during the maturation of
B-LYMPHOCYTES
; the gene segment for the variable region upstream is joined to a constant region gene segment downstream. The exact position of joining of the two gene segments is variable and contributes to
ANTIBODY DIVERSITY
. It is distinguished from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN J CHAINS; a separate polypeptide that serves as a linkage piece in polymeric IGA or IGM.
