Bioinformation
| Gene Symbol | B2M |
|---|---|
| Gene Full Name | beta-2-microglobulin |
| Background | This gene encodes 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.

| Function | Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. Exogenously applied M.tuberculosis EsxA or EsxA-EsxB (or EsxA expressed in host) binds B2M and decreases its export to the cell surface (total protein levels do not change), probably leading to defects in class I antigen presentation (PubMed:25356553). [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Secreted. Cell surface. Note=Detected in serum and urine (PubMed:1336137, PubMed:7554280). Note=(Microbial infection) In the presence of M.tuberculosis EsxA-EsxB complex decreased amounts of B2M are found on the cell surface (PubMed:25356553). [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 14 kDa |
| PTM | Glycation of Ile-21 is observed in long-term hemodialysis patients. [UniProt] |
