MeSH definition : The class of heavy chains found in IMMUNOGLOBULIN M. They have a molecular weight
of approximately 72 kDa and they contain about 57 amino acid residues arranged in
five domains and have more oligosaccharide branches and a higher carbohydrate content
than the heavy chains of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G.;
MeSH synonym : mu immunoglobulin heavy chains; mu-chains, immunoglobulin; mu immunoglobulin heavy chain; immunoglobulin mu chain; mu-chain, immunoglobulin; immunoglobulins, mu chain; immunoglobulins, mu-chain; mu chain immunoglobulins; immunoglobulin mu-chain; mu-chain immunoglobulins; immunoglobulin mu chains; Ig mu Chains; Chains, Ig mu; mu Chains, Ig;
MeSH annotation : gammopathy: coordinate IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS (IM) with PARAPROTEINEMIAS (IM) but
consider also HYPERGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA (IM) or HEAVY CHAIN DISEASE (IM), follow text;
for immunoglobulin C mu (IG C mu) coordinate with IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGION;
