The Immunoglobulin Superfamily (IgSF) is a large group of proteins that play crucial roles in the immune system and cell communication. These proteins are characterized by their immunoglobulin-like domains, which are involved in binding to other proteins, cells, or pathogens. Members of the IgSF include antibodies, which are essential for recognizing and neutralizing foreign substances, as well as various cell adhesion molecules. IgSF proteins are found in many organisms and are important for processes such as immune response, cell signaling, and tissue development. Their diverse functions make them vital for maintaining the body's defense mechanisms and facilitating interactions between cells.
