Dinamakan seperti itu karena pada bagianV memiliki urutan asam amino yang bervariasi dari satu antibodike antibodi lainnya.Umumnya antibodi terdiri atas sekelompok protein yang beradapada fraksi-fraksi globulin serum. Fraksi-fraksi globulin serum inidinamakan imunoglobulin atau disingkat Ig. Imunoglobulin ini bermanfaatapabila di dalam tubuh terjadi reaksi imun.Manusia memiliki beberapa tipe imunoglobulin dengan berbagaistruktur.
