The IGHC protein display numbering is according to the IMGT unique numbering for C-DOMAIN and C-LIKE-DOMAIN.

N (Asn, asparagine) of potential N-glycosylation sites (NXS/T, where X is different from P), (N-linked glycosylation) is shown is green (site is underlined in CHS and in pages edited before 14/10/2009).

The hinge exon(s) are shown at the end of the protein display.

c: cDNA sequence

IMGT note:
(1) Note that this CH1 domain is not expressed in the camel IGH gamma 2 chain. Indeed, owing to a splicing defect of the CH1 (non canonical DONOR-SPLICE) the V-D-J-REGION is spliced to the hinge exon (H), which leads to the absence of the CH1 domain in the camel IGH gamma 2 chain. The conserved Cys 104 of the CH1 (IMGT numbering for C-DOMAIN) is replaced by Ser.
