[PDF] antibodies function and structure

An antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin, is a Y-shaped structure which consists of four polypeptides — two heavy chains and two light chains. This structure allows antibody molecules to carry out their dual functions: antigen binding and biological activity mediation.

  • What is the function of the antibody?

    Antibodies are proteins that protect you when an unwanted substance enters your body. Produced by your immune system, antibodies bind to these unwanted substances in order to eliminate them from your system. Another word for antibody is immunoglobulin.

  • What is the structure and function of antibodies in a level biology?

    Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are proteins produced by the immune system in response to foreign substances, such as viruses or bacteria. Their function is to recognize and neutralize these harmful substances, called antigens, by binding to them and marking them for destruction.
  • A typical antibody molecule is composed of four polypeptide chains, two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. Parts of both the heavy and light chains usually combine to form the antigen-binding sites.
