β-2-microglobulin is part of the human leukocyte antigen, where it represents the light chain. It is expressed on cell membranes and is made up of 99 amino acids. β-2-microglobulin is part of the immunoglobulin superfamily.
β2-microglobulin (B2M) is a non-glycosylated polypeptide. The protein is characterized with a single polypeptide chain, which is linked noncovalently to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I cell surface antigen. The gene coding for B2M is mapped to human chromosome 15q.
Immunogen
β2-microglobulin
Anwendung
Anti-β2-Microglobulin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting[1]and immunofluorescence.
Biochem./physiol. Wirkung
β-2-microglobulin acts as a tumor marker and has been shown to be associated with dialysis-related amyloidosis.
β2-microglobulin (B2M) plays a vital role in cell survival, proliferation and metastasis in various types of cancer. Elevated concentration of β-2-microglobulin (B2M) can be considered as a prognostic marker for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Overexpression of serum B2M is observed in hepatitis C virus (HCV) related chronic liver diseases, therefore it might act as a potential marker for the HCV disease progression towards cirrhosis and carcinoma. Missense mutation in the B2M gene results in familial hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia (FHH).
Qualität
The antiserum has been treated to remove lipoprotens.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura have traditionally been considered separate entities. Defects in the regulation of the complement alternative pathway occur in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, and defects in the cleavage of von Willebrand factor (VWF)-multimers arise

Cynomolgus macaques are widely used as an animal model in biomedical research. We have established an immortalized cynomolgus macaque fibroblast cell line (MSF-T) by transducing primary dermal fibroblasts isolated from a 13-year-old male cynomolgus macaque with a retrovirus vector expressing
