CD79a (CD 79a, CD79A Antigen Immunoglobulin Associated alpha, CD79a Molecule Immunoglobulin Associated alpha, B Lymphocyte Specific MB1 Protein, B cell Antigen Receptor Complex Associated Protein alpha Chain, IGA, Ig alpha, Immunoglobulin Associated Alpha, Ly54, MB 1, MB 1 Membrane Glycoprotein, MB1, MB1 Membrane Glycoprotein, Membrane Bound Immunoglobulin Associated Protein, Surface IgM Associated Protein) (PE)

CD79a, also known as mb-1, is a 45kD protein that is expressed by B lymphocytes during differentiation from early pre-B cell stage through to plasma cells. The CD79a molecule associates with CD79b (B29) to form a heterodimer that is non-covalently linked to surface immunoglobulin, forming the B-cell receptor (BCR) complex. The CD79a/CD79b heterodimers are also necessary for intracellular signalling following antigen-binding to surface immunoglobulin.||Applications:|Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry.
