Target Details for beta-2 Microglobulin

Target: beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M) (beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M))

Alternative Name: B2M

Background:

Synonyms: Beta-2-microglobulin, Beta-2-microglobulin form pI 5.3, B2M, CDABP0092, HDCMA22P

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in all tissues tested including spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Background: Beta-2 microglobulin also known as B2M is a component of MHC class I molecules, which are present on all nucleated cells (excludes red blood cells). In humans, the beta-2-microglobulin protein is encoded by the B2M gene. The protein has a predominantly beta-pleated sheet structure that can form amyloid fibrils in some pathological conditions. The encoded antimicrobial protein displays antibacterial activity in amniotic fluid. A mutation in this gene has been shown to result in hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia.

Molecular Weight: 12 kDa
