B2M

Source

Cynomolgus / Rhesus macaque B2M, His Tag (B2M-C5226) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Ile 21 - Met 119 (Accession # Q8SPW0). In the region Ile 21 - Met 119, the amino acid sequences of Cynomolgus and Rhesus macaque beta 2-Microglobulin are identical.

Predicted N-terminus: Ile 21

Molecular Characterization
Other Tags and Version Biotin & Other Labeled Version

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

The protein has a calculated MW of 12.6 kDa. The protein migrates as 14 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Endotoxin

Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.

Purity

>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation

Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background

β2 microglobulin is also known as Beta-2-microglobulin (B2M), is a component of MHC class I molecules which belongs to the beta-2-microglobulin family. B2M is present on all nucleated cells (excludes red blood cells). B2M associates not only with the alpha chain of MHC class I molecules, but also with class I-like molecules such as CD1 and Qa. An additional function of B2M is association with the HFE protein, together regulating the expression of hepcidin in the liver which targets the iron transporter ferroportin on the cytoplasmic membrane of enterocytes and macrophages for degradation resulting in decreased iron uptake from food and iron release from recycled red blood cells respectively. Loss of this function causes iron excess and hemochromatosis. Defects in B2M are the cause of hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia (HYCATHYP).
