Summaries for B2M Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for B2M Gene

  • 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.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

CIViC summary for B2M Gene

GeneCards Summary for B2M Gene

B2M (Beta-2-Microglobulin) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with B2M include Immunodeficiency 43 and Amyloidosis, Familial Visceral. Among its related pathways are Cytokine Signaling in Immune system and Innate Immune System. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include identical protein binding.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for B2M Gene

  • 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).

    Quaternary structure:
    • Heterodimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Beta-2-microglobulin is the beta-chain of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. Polymers of beta 2-microglobulin can be found in tissues from patients on long-term hemodialysis. B2M alone (not in complex with HLA-I) interacts with M.tuberculosis EsxA (ESAT-6) and an EsxA-EsxB (CFP-10) complex; the tripartite complex can be detected in the host endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:25356553). The B2M-EsxA complex can be detected in patients with pleural tuberculosis and is stable from pH 4.0 to 8.0 and in the presence of 2M NaCl (PubMed:25356553).

  • Amyloidosis 8 (AMYL8) [MIM:105200]: A form of hereditary generalized amyloidosis. Clinical features include extensive visceral amyloid deposits, renal amyloidosis resulting in nephrotic syndrome, arterial hypertension, hepatosplenomegaly, cholestasis, petechial skin rash. There is no involvement of the nervous system. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:22693999}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Apart from the presence of causative mutations, beta-2-microglobulin may adopt the fibrillar configuration of amyloid when its serum levels are persistently high. High beta(2)-microglobulin serum levels result in amyloidosis in patients on long-term hemodialysis (PubMed:7918443). In contrast to patients with dialysis-related amyloidosis, patients with hereditary amyloidosis have normal circulating concentrations of beta2-microglobulin (PubMed:22693999). {ECO:0000269 PubMed:22693999, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7918443}.
  • Immunodeficiency 43 (IMD43) [MIM:241600]: A disorder characterized by marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulins and albumin, and hypoproteinemia due to hypercatabolism. Patients may suffer from recurrent respiratory tract infections and severe skin disease. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:16549777}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
