The Immunoglobulin protein

Light-chain amyloidosis is characterized by deposition of fibrillar aggregates composed of the N-terminal L-chain variable region (VL) domain of an immunoglobulin, generally in individuals overproducing a monoclonal L chain. The major component of the amyloid deposit is a kappa III immunoglobulin light chain. Our sequences from SWISSPROT are here, the result of the multiple sequense alignment is here.
