Function
- V region variable domain of immunoglobulin light chains
- variable domains are assembled by V-(D)-J rearrangement & can then be subjected to somatic hypermutations which, after exposure to antigen & selection, allow affinity maturation for a particular antigen
Structure
- contains 1 Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domain
Compartment
Polymorphism
- several alleles
