B2M
-
Official Full Name
beta-2-microglobulin
-
Overview
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. -

Q&As (6)
Ask a questionThe normal reference range for B2M varies depending on age, gender, weight, individual differences, and other factors. In general, the normal reference range is between 0~3.0mg/L.
Causes of reduced B2M include liver and kidney failure, tuberculosis, HIV infection, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and other diseases.
B2M plays an important role in the diagnosis and prognosis assessment of malignancies such as lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Elevated B2M levels can also indicate worsening or recurrence of certain autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
It has a variety of physiological functions in the immune system, including inducing immune response, participating in lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation, regulating immune tolerance, and participating in tumor immune surveillance.
The levels can be affected by a variety of factors, such as cancer, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, infections, medications, etc.
This is associated with many diseases, including lymphoma, normal stress hydrocephalus, HIV infection, rheumatoid arthritis, nephrotic syndrome, cirrhosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.
