The constant region of an immunoglobulin or T-cell receptor has a relatively unchanging amino acid sequence. In antibodies, this is also called the Fc region and dictates the antibody's specific effector function.
Región de la inmunoglobulina o receptor de células T con una secuencia de aminoácidos relativamente constante. También conocida como región Fc en anticuerpos, esta región determina la función efectora particular del anticuerpo.
