About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for B2M:
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. A mutation in this gene has been shown to result in
hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia.(provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: B2MG_HUMAN, P61769
Function: Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide
antigens to the immune system

  • Defects in B2M are the cause of hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia (HYCATHYP) [MIM:241600]. Affected individuals
  • show marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulin and albumin, probably due to rapid degradation
  • Note=Beta-2-microglobulin may adopt the fibrillar configuration of amyloid in certain pathologic states. The
  • capacity to assemble into amyloid fibrils is concentration dependent. Persistently high beta(2)-microglobulin serum
    levels lead to amyloidosis in patients on long-term hemodialysis
