B2M / Beta 2 Microglobulin

beta-2-microglobulin

B2M / Beta 2 Microglobulin is a serum protein found in association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells. 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.

Gene Name:	beta-2-microglobulin
Synonyms:	B2M, Beta 2 Microglobulin, Beta-2-microglobulin, Beta-2-microglobin
Target Sequences:	NM_004048 NP_004039.1 P61769
