The constant region of IgM is made up of the two <scene name='95/952715/Heavy_chain/3'> | The constant region of IgM is made up of the two <scene name='95/952715/Heavy_chain/3'>heavy chains</scene>. These heavy chains form a bridge connecting the FAB region or variable region to the transmembrane region (refer to figure 1). They also act as a wire that the variable region can send a signal through to the transmembrane region as a mechanical change. | ||
