Weight	1 lbs
Dimensions	9 × 5 × 2 in
accession	P61769
express system	HEK293
product tag	C-hFc
purity	> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE;> 95% as determined by HPLC
background	To assess whether beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) has effects on articular chondrocytes that would implicate B2M involvement in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis.The average B2M level in OA synovial fluid is significantly higher than that found in normal synovial fluid. B2M is highly expressed in OA cartilage and synovial fluid compared to normal, and suggest that B2M may have effects on chondrocyte function that could contribute to OA pathogenesis.
molecular weight	The protein has a predicted MW of 38.4 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 40-50 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
available size	100 µg, 500 µg
endotoxin	Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Protein names Beta-2-microglobulin [Cleaved into: Beta-2-microglobulin form pI 5.3]
Gene names B2M,B2M CDABP0092 HDCMA22P
Protein family Beta-2-microglobulin family
Mass 13715Da
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).
Subellular location 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).
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). Forms a heterotrimer with HLA-E and a self- or a foreign peptide (PubMed:9427624). Forms a heterotrimer with HLA-G and a self-peptide (PubMed:17056715). Forms a heterotrimer with HLA-F and a self-peptide (PubMed:10605026). Forms a heterotrimer with MR1 and a metabolite antigen.
Post-translational modification Glycation of Ile-21 is observed in long-term hemodialysis patients.
