Description

Introduction
Beta2 microglobulin, also known as B2M, is a secreted protein with 1 Ig-like C1-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain which belongs to the beta-2-microglobulin family. B2M component of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. Polymers of beta 2-microglobulin can be found in tissues from patients on long-term hemodialysis. B2M is a protein found on the surface of many cells and plentiful on the surface of white blood cells. Serum B2M concentration is increased in renal diseases, various malignant diseases and some inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. B2M may adopt the fibrillar configuration of amyloid in certain pathologic states. The capacity to assemble into amyloid fibrils is concentration dependent. B2M has been shown as a marker for monitoring inflammatory disease activity and it appears likely to have a destructive role in amyloidosis-related arthritis. B2M might be involved in the OA (osteoarthritis) pathogenesis. Defects in B2M are the cause of hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia. Affected individuals show marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulin and albumin, probably due to rapid degradation. B2M could be a potential therapeutic target in ovarian cancer.

BP001309-PRO-337: Recombinant Human Beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M) Protein

Source: E. coli-derived.
Recombinant Human B2 Microglobulin is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 11.76 kDa. The B2M is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Purity: > 95.0% by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated solution (1 ug/ml) containing PBS (pH 7.4) and 0.05% NaN3.
Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized B2M in sterile 18 MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Shipping: The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.
Stability & Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70°C as supplied.
1 month, 2 to 8°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 months, -20 to -70°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
