beta-2 Microglobulin antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6940415

Product Details anti-beta-2 Microglobulin Antibody

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

Reactivity: Human, Non-Human Primate

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This beta-2 Microglobulin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF), Staining Methods (StM)

Specificity: Recognizes a protein of 12 kDa, identified as beta-2 microglobulin. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class 1 Molecules bind to antigens for presentation on the surface of cells. The proteasome is responsible for producing these antigens from the components of foreign pathogens. MHC class 1 Molecules consist of an alpha heavy chain that contains three subdomains (alpha1, alpha2, alpha3) and a non-covalent associating light chain, known as beta-2-Microglobulin. Beta-2-Microglobulin associates with the alpha3 subdomain of the alpha heavy chain and forms an immunoglobulin domain-like structure that mediates proper folding and expression of MHC class 1 Molecules. The alpha1 and alpha2 domains of the alpha heavy chain form the peptide antigen-binding cleft. Mutations in the beta-2-Microglobulin gene can enhance the progression of malignant melanoma phenotypes.

Purification: Purified by Protein A/G
