CD79B Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc)

CD79B Protein, also known as B29 or Igβ, is an essential component of the B cell receptor along with immunoglobulin and mb1 (Igα, CD79a) and is absolutely required for B cell development. Rat CD79B protein comprises 228 amino acids, and its amino acid sequence is 85 and 69% identical with the mouse and human counterparts, respectively. The B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling component Igβ (CD79B) and the co-receptor CD19 act as an alternative B-cell signaling module that promotes the survival of B lymphoma and normal B cells via integrated ITAM/PI3K signaling. The loss of CD79B causes a block in N-glycan maturation and accumulation of immature proteins^[1][2][3]. CD79B Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant rat-derived CD79B protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.

The human, murine, and rat B29 (Ig beta, CD79b) genes are highly conserved in sequence and organization and exhibit strict B cell-specific expression. In the human and rat genomes, the B29 gene is located between the skeletal muscle-specific Na-channel alpha subunit (SCN4A) gene and the pituitary-specific growth hormone (GH-N) gene. Rat B29/Ig-β gene was 3.1 kb in length with six exons and was separated by 3.3 and 9.3 kb from Na-channel and GH genes, respectively^[1][2].
The B-cell receptor (BCR) consists of surface-bound immunoglobulin (Ig) and a heterodimeric signaling unit comprised of CD79A and CD79B. Upon cognate antigen recognition, the receptor initiates important signals for B-cell development and function^[3].
