Biochem/physiol Actions

Immunoglobulin κ constant (IGKC) is a human gene that encodes the constant domain of κ-type light chains for antibodies. It is found on chromosome 2 in humans. IGKC acts as a strong prognostic marker in several human solid tumors, including breast cancer. Its expression may have a role for humoral immunity in breast cancer progression. IGKC is also found to be expressed in non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) and may act as a prognostic marker in NSCLC, supporting emerging treatment concepts that exploit the humoral immune response. Its has an independent protective impact on disease-free survival (DFS) and breast cancer-specific overall survival in node-negative breast cancer. IGKC acts as a novel diagnostic marker for risk stratification in human cancer and may help to exploit the humoral immune response for anticancer therapy.
