MeSH definition : An immunolglobulin light chain-like protein composed of an IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE
REGION-like peptide (such as light chain like lambda5 peptide) and an IMMUNOGLOBULIN
CONSTANT REGION-like peptide (such as Vpreb1 peptide). Surrogate light chains associate
with MU IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS in place of a conventional immunoglobulin light
chains to form pre-B cell receptors.;
