Background
CD79b (IgB, B29) forms disulfide-linked heterodimer with CD79a (IgA, MB-1, MB1). They both are transmembrane proteins with extended cytoplasmic domains containing immunoreceptor tyrosine activation motives (ITAMs), and together with cell surface immunoglobulin they constitute B-cell antigen-specific receptor (BCR). CD79a and b are the first components of BCR that are expressed developmentally. They appear on pro-B cells in association with the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone calnexin. Subsequently, in pre-B cells, CD79 heterodimer is associated with λ5-VpreB surrogate immunoglobulin and later with antigen-specific surface immunoglobulins.
