    Product Description

    CD79a is a member of the heterodimeric signal transduction component of the B cell receptor (BCR) complex that is encoded by CD79A/MB-1 in humans.1 It is composed of a disulfide-linked extracellular domain, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic tail containing an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif that facilitates intracellular signaling.1,2 CD79a is expressed exclusively in B cells and B cell progenitors, and is commonly used as a B cell marker. It is co-expressed at the cell surface with CD79b and immunoglobulins of all isotypes as the mature BCR complex.1 Mutations in CD79A/MB-1 have been found in patients with autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia.3 Cayman's CD79a (C-Term) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Clone RM297) can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) applications.
