Summary
CD79B (CD79b molecule, HGNC:1699) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q23.3, encoding B-cell antigen receptor complex-associated protein beta chain (P40259). Required in cooperation with CD79A for initiation of the signal transduction cascade activated by the B-cell antigen receptor complex (BCR) which leads to internalization of the complex, trafficking to late endosomes and antigen presentation.
The B lymphocyte antigen receptor is a multimeric complex that includes the antigen-specific component, surface immunoglobulin (Ig). Surface Ig non-covalently associates with two other proteins, Ig-alpha and Ig-beta, which are necessary for expression and function of the B-cell antigen receptor. This gene encodes the Ig-beta protein of the B-cell antigen component. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

Function. Required in cooperation with CD79A for initiation of the signal transduction cascade activated by the B-cell antigen receptor complex (BCR) which leads to internalization of the complex, trafficking to late endosomes and antigen presentation. Enhances phosphorylation of CD79A, possibly by recruiting kinases which phosphorylate CD79A or by recruiting proteins which bind to CD79A and protect it from dephosphorylation.
Subunit / interactions. Heterodimer of alpha and beta chains; disulfide-linked. Part of the B-cell antigen receptor complex where the alpha/beta chain heterodimer is non-covalently associated with an antigen-specific membrane-bound surface immunoglobulin of two heavy chains and two light chains. Interacts with LYN.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. B-cells.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on tyrosine upon B-cell activation by SRC-type Tyr-kinases such as BLK, LYN and SYK.
Disease relevance. Agammaglobulinemia 6, autosomal recessive (AGM6) [MIM:612692] A primary immunodeficiency characterized by profoundly low or absent serum antibodies and low or absent circulating B-cells due to an early block of B-cell development. Affected individuals develop severe infections in the first years of life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The transmembrane helices of CD79A and CD79B chains and two IgM heavy chains assembly in a four-helix bundle structure that appears to be conserved among different BCR isotypes.
