Human Beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M) Purified Lyophilized from Innovative Research has been purified from human urine. This is a lyophilized powder buffered in 0.02 M ammonium bicarbonate (may contain traces of buffer salts), with a purity of greater than 98% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
This product is useful for applications like Immunoassay and Immunology, Urinalysis, Tumor and Cancer research, and Renal and Kidney research. Beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M) is necessary for cell surface expression of MHC class I and the stability of the peptide-binding groove. In conjunction with HFE protein, B2M also assists in regulating hepcidin in the liver, impacting iron uptake (from food) and release (from RBCs). B2M concentration can be increased in certain disease (renal, inflammatory/autoimmune, some tumors and cancers) and can be used to differentiate between glomerular/tubular kidney disorders.
