Secretory Immunoglobulin A

The principle immunoglobulin in exocrine secretions such as milk, respiratory and intestinal mucin, saliva and tears. The complete molecule (around 400 kD) is composed of two four-chain units of IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, one SECRETORY COMPONENT and one J chain (IMMUNOGLOBULIN J-CHAINS).

Also Known As:

SIgA; Immunoglobulin A, Secretory; Exocrine IgA; IgA, Colostral; Colostral IgA; IgA, Exocrine; IgA, Secretory; Secretory IgA
