Biological function summary
IgA1 acts as a first line of defense in the immune system by binding to pathogens and neutralizing them. It exists as a monomer or forms a dimer with the help of the J chain which stabilizes its dimeric form. IgA1 also interacts with the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) for transportation across epithelial cells. This transport allows IgA1 to be present in secretory fluids such as saliva and breast milk providing an important protective function.
Pathways
IgA1 interacts with several pathways involved in immune response and mucosal immunity. One critical pathway is the mucosal antibody response where IgA1 plays a role in preventing infection at mucosal surfaces. The IgA1 protein activates the alternative complement pathway by binding to complement protein C3 which enhances the removal of pathogens. Furthermore IgA1 is associated with the J chain and pIgR in the process of IgA transcytosis across epithelial barriers.
