TITLE Human immunoglobulin heavy chain genes: Evolutionary comparisons of C-mu, C-delta and C-gamma genes and associated switch sequences JOURNAL Nucleic Acids Res. 9, 4509-4524 (1981) STANDARD full staff_review COMMENT Membrane IgM is made by splicing the mu CH4 domain with the mu-membrane M1 domain, deleting the secreted tail and intervening DNA. The amino acid sequence of M1 is identical to the mouse sequence, and the two nucleotide sequences differ by only 7%. This is part of a multigene region containing the J-region, switch region, C-mu-secreted, C-mu-membrane, and C-delta genes.
