One of the major classes of antibody molecules is immunoglobulin G (IgG). Two heavy chains and two light chains form one IgG molecule. Classify each statement as describing the heavy chains, light chains, or both chains of IgG.

IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE

Explanation:

Classes of immunoglobulins

The five primary classes of immunoglobulins are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE. These are distinguished by the type of heavy chain found in the molecule. IgG molecules have heavy chains known as gamma-chains; IgMs have mu-chains; IgAs have alpha-chains; IgEs have epsilon-chains; and IgDs have delta-chains.

Differences in heavy chain polypeptides allow these immunoglobulins to function in different types of immune responses and at particular stages of the immune response. The polypeptide protein sequences responsible for these differences are found primarily in the Fc fragment. While there are five different types of heavy chains, there are only two main types of light chains: kappa (κ) and lambda (λ).

Antibody classes differ in valency as a result of different numbers of Y-like units (monomers) that join to form the complete protein. For example, in humans, functioning IgM antibodies have five Y-shaped units (pentamer) containing a total of 10 light chains, 10 heavy chains and 10 antigen-binding.
