Human beta 2-Microglobulin ELISA Kit | B2M elisa kit
Human beta 2-Microglobulin ELISA Kit
Background: Beta 2-Microglobulin (B2M) is an 11 kDA protein. It forms the subunit of the MHC class I molecule and associates with the outer membrane of many cells including lymphocytes. It is present in low levels in serum and urine of normal people, but at a higher concentration in patients with renal diseases, kidney transplants and various other inflammatory and infectious conditions.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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. A mutation in this gene has been shown to result in hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia.
Uniprot Description
B2M: Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. 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. Belongs to the beta-2-microglobulin family.

Product Notes
The Human B2M b2m (Catalog #AAA564037) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA564037 ELISA Kit recognizes Human B2M. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "beta 2-Microglobulin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
