Abstract

Review. The publications on the structural and functional features of the main molecular shaperon of li-chain were updated. In the 1990s the determination of molecular shaperon as a group of mutually unrelated protein molecules taking part in the assembly of other polypeptides was worked out. In humans the main isoform of li-chain is the protein with a mol. wt. of 31-33 kD. A great variety of functions of this shaperon is linked with definite amino acid sequences. In particular, the molecular shaperon of the molecules of the main histocompatibility complex-II has functions connected with the presentation of antigen and the differentiation of B lymphocytes
