Immunoglobulins have a pivotal role in disease regulation. Therefore, it is vital to accurately identify immunoglobulins to develop new drugs and research related diseases. Compared with utilizing high-dimension features to identify immunoglobulins, this research aimed to examine a method to classify immunoglobulins and non-immunoglobulins using two features, FC* and GC*. Classification of 228 samples (109 immunoglobulin samples and 119 non-immunoglobulin samples) revealed that the overall accuracy was 80.7% in 10-fold cross-validation using the J48 classifier implemented in Weka software. The FC* feature identified in this study was found in the immunoglobulin subtype domain, which demonstrated that this extracted feature could represent functional and structural properties of immunoglobulins for forecasting.
