Accession: GO:0071762
Name: heavy chain immunoglobulin complex
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: HCab, Ig NAR immunoglobulin complex, IgNAR antibody, IgNAR immunoglobulin complex
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A protein complex composed of two identical immunoglobulin heavy chains of the IgNAR isotype held together by disulfide bonds and lacking immunoglobulin light chains. Source: ISBN:0781765196, PMID:12543123, PMID:16051357, GOC:add
