CD79B 蛋白与 CD79A 一起在启动 B 细胞抗原受体复合物 (BCR) 触发的信号转导级联中发挥重要作用。这一关键功能导致复合物的内化,随后运输至晚期内体,以及最终的抗原呈递。CD79B 可能通过招募磷酸化 CD79A 的激酶或通过接合与 CD79A 结合的蛋白质来增强 CD79A 的磷酸化,从而保护其免于去磷酸化。CD79B 与 α 链形成异二聚体,形成二硫键连接的复合物。它是 B 细胞抗原受体复合物的组成部分,其中 α/β 链异二聚体与包含两条重链和两条轻链的抗原特异性膜结合表面免疫球蛋白非共价结合。此外,CD79B 与 LYN 相互作用,进一步促进其在 B 细胞信号传导中的调节作用。
B-cell antigen receptor complex-associated protein beta chain (CD79b) is also known as B-cell-specific glycoprotein B29, Ig-beta,Immunoglobulin-associated B29 protein, B29 and IGB, which is a single-pass type I membrane protein containing one Ig-like V-type ( immunoglobulin-like ) domain and one ITAM domain.CD79b is required in cooperation with CD79A for initiation of the signal transduction cascade activated by the B-cell antigen receptor complex (BCR).CD79b can enhance phosphorylation of CD79A, possibly by recruiting kinases which phosphorylate CD79A or by recruiting proteins which bind to CD79A and protect it from dephosphorylation. Defects in CD79b are the cause of agammaglobulinemia type 6 (AGM6) that is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by profoundly low or absent serum antibodies and low or absent circulating B cells due to an early block of B-cell development.
