MeSH definition : The class of heavy chains found in IMMUNOGLOBULIN E. They have a molecular weight
of approximately 72 kDa and they contain about 550 amino acid residues arranged in
five domains and about three times more carbohydrate than the heavy chains of IMMUNOGLOBULIN
A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; and IMMUNOGLOBULIN G.;
MeSH synonym : epsilon immunoglobulin heavy chain; epsilon immunoglobulin heavy chains; epsilon-immunoglobulin heavy chains; heavy chain, epsilon-immunoglobulin; immunoglobulins, epsilon-chain; epsilon-chains, immunoglobulin; immunoglobulins, epsilon chain; heavy chains, epsilon-immunoglobulin; immunoglobulin epsilon-chain; immunoglobulin epsilon chain; epsilon-chain immunoglobulins; epsilon chain immunoglobulins; epsilon-immunoglobulin heavy chain; epsilon-chain, immunoglobulin; immunoglobulin epsilon chains; Ig epsilon Chains; Chains, Ig epsilon; epsilon Chains, Ig;
MeSH annotation : gammopathy: coordinate IMMUNOGLOBULIN EPSILON-CHAINS (IM) with PARAPROTEINEMIAS (IM)
but consider also HYPERGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA (IM) or HEAVY CHAIN DISEASE (IM), follow
