Beta2-microglobulin antibody

Product Specifications

CAS Number

9007-83-4

Gene Name

Beta-2-microglobulin

Gene Aliases

Beta chain of MHC class I molecules; beta-2-microglobin; beta-2-microglobulin; IMD43.

Gene ID

567

Accession Number

NP_004039.1

Reactivity

Human|Porcine

Immunogen

Purified isolated human beta2-microglobulin.

Target

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) .

Specificity

The antibody B2M-02 reacts with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M) associated with cell-surface MHC Class I molecules and other membrane antigens as well as with soluble beta2-microglobulin. Beta2M is a 12 kDa Ig like glycoprotein expressed on lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes.
