Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * B2M is a glycoprotein that is expressed on the surface of cells. * It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. * It is involved in the regulation of inflammation and cell migration. * It is also involved in the processing and presentation of antigens. **Pathways and functions:** * B2M is involved in the adaptive immune system, where it helps to regulate the immune response to pathogens. * It is involved in the processing and presentation of antigens, which is essential for the adaptive immune system to recognize and respond to foreign pathogens. * It is also involved in the regulation of inflammation and cell migration. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the B2M gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and cancer. * B2M is a potential therapeutic target for these diseases, as it can be used to block the effects of the disease. **Additional information:** * B2M is a highly conserved protein, with a sequence that is found in mammals, birds, and fish. * It is a secreted protein, which means that it is not a transmembrane protein. * It is a multi-functional protein, with a variety of roles in the immune system.
