Immunoglobulin Light Chain (Misfolded)

Molecular classification: Immunoglobulin, Protein Aggregate

Overview

Misfolded immunoglobulin light chain refers specifically to pathological forms produced excessively by abnormal plasma cells which lose their proper folding stability—often due to sequence variations—and aggregate into toxic amyloid fibrils responsible for organ damage seen most notably in AL amyloidosis patients.

Other names: Free Light Chains (Misfolded)AL Amyloid Light ChainsMisfolded Kappa Light ChainMisfolded Lambda Light Chain

Mechanism of action

Small molecules that bind to and stabilize immunoglobulin light chain proteins in their native conformation, preventing misfolding and aggregation.
