| IgA, secretory | The principle ig found in exocrine secretions such as milk, respiratory and intestinal mucin, saliva and tears. It is composed of two to four molecules of 7s IgA and one molecule each of j chain and secretory component (sc), also called secretory piece. Molecular weight appr. 400,000. (12 Dec 1998) |

| fast component | <molecular biology> A segment of eukaryotic DNA consisting of highly-repeated nucleotide sequences which, when the entire duplex DNA molecule is denatured (the double-stranded helix comes apart and becomes single strands) and then allowed to renature (the complementary single strands come together to form a helix), will be the first segment to renature.
