Biological function summary
B2M interacts with the neonatal Fc receptor and is involved in the regulation of IgG antibody levels by extending their half-life. As part of the FcRn complex B2M also aids in the transport of IgG across epithelial barriers such as the intestinal lining in neonatal mammals. This complex plays a significant role in maintaining the homeostasis of IgG antibodies therefore impacting adaptive immunity.
Pathways
B2M participates in antigen processing and presentation. It forms a complex with FCGRT which is critical in the FcRn pathway responsible for the recycling and transcytosis of immunoglobulins. This interaction preserves IgG from lysosomal degradation. Additionally B2M interacts with other proteins like albumin through related pathways highlighting its involvement in protein recycling and homeostasis.

General info
Function
Cell surface receptor that transfers passive humoral immunity from the mother to the newborn. Binds to the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulin gamma and mediates its selective uptake from milk (PubMed : 10933786, PubMed : 7964511). IgG in the milk is bound at the apical surface of the intestinal epithelium. The resultant FcRn-IgG complexes are transcytosed across the intestinal epithelium and IgG is released from FcRn into blood or tissue fluids. Throughout life, contributes to effective humoral immunity by recycling IgG and extending its half-life in the circulation. Mechanistically, monomeric IgG binding to FcRn in acidic endosomes of endothelial and hematopoietic cells recycles IgG to the cell surface where it is released into the circulation (PubMed : 10998088). In addition of IgG, regulates homeostasis of the other most abundant circulating protein albumin/ALB (PubMed : 24469444, PubMed : 28330995).. (Microbial infection) Acts as an uncoating receptor for a panel of echoviruses including Echovirus 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 25 and 29.
