Ighv5-17 - immunoglobulin heavy variable 5-17 Gene

Predicted to enable antigen binding activity and immunoglobulin receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including activation of immune response; defense response to Other organism; and phagocytosis. Predicted to be part of immunoglobulin complex, circulating. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including IGHV3-11 (immunoglobulin heavy variable 3-11); IGHV3-13 (immunoglobulin heavy variable 3-13); and IGHV3-21 (immunoglobulin heavy variable 3-21).
