The structure and functions of BCR Complex

structure of BCR complex
It’s a membrane Ig (IgM), associated glycoporotein, Ig α and Igβ , which has a moderately large cytoplasmic domain. These domains each include a short region important for transmitting a signal indicating antigen has bound. This region is called immune tyrosin based activation motif ( ITAM ).

Functions of BCR complex

On activation by antigen, B cells differentiate into plasma cells producing antibody molecules of the same antigen specificity as the receptors.
