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-alpha protein of the B-cell antigen component. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in humans identified CD79A as a B cell marker used for cell type identification in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from elderly hip fracture patients [Lu et al. DOI: 10.1186/s12979-023-00380-6]. In a separate human study, the CD79A was identified as a B-cell receptor component marker for B cell identification in single-cell analyses of skin wound healing [Liu et al. DOI: 10.1016/j.stem.2024.11.013].
