  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001152",
  "term": "B-cell receptor",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A transmembrane protein complex located on the surface of B lymphocytes that recognizes and binds to specific antigens. This receptor consists of a membrane-bound immunoglobulin molecule associated with signaling proteins (Igα and Igβ). Antigen binding to the B-cell receptor initiates a cascade of intracellular signaling events, leading to B-cell activation.",
