These three complementarity determining regions are called CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 from the N-terminus. Since each heavy chain that constitutes hcIg can specifically bind to an antigen even if it is a monomer, one hcIg has two antigen-binding regions in the molecule.

As long as it can be included in the CDR in the present invention.
- a constant region exists at the C-terminus of the variable region of the heavy chain antibody via the hinge region.
- a constant region also exists at the C-terminus of the variable region of IgNAR. These constant regions contribute little to the specific binding of heavy chain antibodies to antigen.
- Heavy-chain antibodies are homodimers covalently linked by disulfide bonds at the hinge region. However, a heavy chain antibody need not be a homodimer to bind to an antigen, and each heavy chain that makes up the heavy chain antibody can bind to an antigen alone.
- the heavy chain monomers that make up the heavy chain antibody can be obtained by deleting cysteine residues that form disulfide bonds in the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain or substituting them with other amino acids. Such heavy chain monomers can be produced as recombinant proteins using gene recombination techniques. Such heavy chains are referred to herein as "single heavy chain antibodies.”
