The Fc fragment (or Fc region) is the carboxy-terminal half of the two heavy chains of an IgG molecule, linked by disulfide bonds in the residual hinge region. It is generated by papain cleavage of IgG.
La porción carboxi-terminal de las dos cadenas pesadas de una molécula de IgG unidas por puentes disulfuro entre sí por la región bisagra residual. Se produce por la escisión de IgG por la papaína.
