Description

Antibody molecules typically comprise two immunoglobulin light chains covalently bound to a pair of heavy chains. Immunoglobulin light chains occur in two types, designated by the Greek letters kappa and lambda. Kappa and gamma light chains are approximately 250 amino acids in length with an average mass of about 25 kDa. The ratio of kappa to lambda found in the immunoglobulin population varies by species.
