Light Chain Types Polypeptide Make Antibody Molecule B

A light chain is one of two polypeptide chains in an antibody or B cell receptor, featuring a variable region for antigen binding and a constant region.

A cadeia leve é um dos dois tipos de cadeias polipeptídicas que compõem uma molécula de anticorpo e o receptor de células B; consiste em uma região variável, que contribui para o sítio de ligação do antígeno, e uma região constante.
