B2M

Basics

Aliases:
This biomarker is also known as:
  • beta-2-microglobulin,
  • CDABP0092,
  • HDCMA22P,

Description…

B2M, a secreted protein belonging to the beta-2-microglobulin family, is a component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells and involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. A mutation in this gene has been shown to result in hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia. B2M is detected in serum and urine.
