Target

  • Function

    Required in cooperation with CD79B for initiation of the signal transduction cascade activated by binding of antigen to the B-cell antigen receptor complex (BCR) which leads to internalization of the complex, trafficking to late endosomes and antigen presentation. Also required for BCR surface expression and for efficient differentiation of pro- and pre-B-cells. Stimulates SYK autophosphorylation and activation. Binds to BLNK, bringing BLNK into proximity with SYK and allowing SYK to phosphorylate BLNK. Also interacts with and increases activity of some Src-family tyrosine kinases. Represses BCR signaling during development of immature B cells.
  • Tissue specificity

    B-cells.
  • Involvement in disease

    Defects in CD79A are the cause of agammaglobulinemia type 3 (AGM3) [MIM:613501]. It is 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. Note=Two different mutations, one at the splice donor site of intron 2 and the other at the splice acceptor site for exon 3, have been identified. Both mutations give rise to a truncated protein.
  • Sequence similarities

    Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
    Contains 1 ITAM domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylated on tyrosine, serine and threonine residues upon B-cell activation. Phosphorylation of tyrosine residues by Src-family kinases is an early and essential feature of the BCR signaling cascade. The phosphorylated tyrosines serve as docking sites for SH2-domain containing kinases, leading to their activation which in turn leads to phosphorylation of downstream targets. Phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues may prevent subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation.
  • Cellular localization

    Cell membrane. Following antigen binding, the BCR has been shown to translocate from detergent-soluble regions of the cell membrane to lipid rafts although signal transduction through the complex can also occur outside lipid rafts.

      False colour image of Western blot: Anti-CD79a antibody [EP3618] staining at 1/5000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab79414 was shown to bind specifically to CD79a. A band was observed at 40-50 kDa in wild-type Raji cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CD79A knockout cell line ab274911 (knockout cell lysate ab281361). To generate this image, wild-type and CD79A knockout Raji cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

    Asked on Feb 23 2012

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting Abcam regarding ab79414.


    The localization of this protein should be to the membrane. The only other information we have regarding this is that following antigen binding, the BCR has been shown to translocate from detergent-soluble regions of the cell membrane to lipid rafts although signal transduction through the complex can also occur outside lipid rafts. We have not specifically tested colon and prostate tissues so I cannot say for sure that this is accurate staining.


    If you would provide a summary of your protocol and some images, I would be happy to investigate this further. Additionally, examining the literature for the expected expression profile in your tissues of interest might provide more specific details.


    I look forward to your reply so that I may assist you further. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.
