Product overview
Abcam’s beta 2 Microglobulin (B2M) Human ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human beta 2 Microglobulin in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human beta 2 Microglobulin coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and beta 2 Microglobulin present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Human beta 2 Microglobulin antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of beta 2 Microglobulin bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Research areas
-
Function
Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in B2M are the cause of hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia (HYCATHYP) [MIM:241600]. Affected individuals show marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulin and albumin, probably due to rapid degradation.
Note=Beta-2-microglobulin may adopt the fibrillar configuration of amyloid in certain pathologic states. The capacity to assemble into amyloid fibrils is concentration dependent. Persistently high beta(2)-microglobulin serum levels lead to amyloidosis in patients on long-term hemodialysis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the beta-2-microglobulin family.
Contains 1 Ig-like C1-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsGlycation of Ile-21 is observed in long-term hemodialysis patients. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. Detected in serum and urine. - Information by UniProt
