B2M/Beta-2 microglobulin Protein, Rat (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

B2M or Beta-2 microglobulin binds to MHC class II protein complexes and forms homodimers. It responds to cadmium ions and exogenous stimuli and is present in the extracellular space. B2M/Beta-2 microglobulin Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is the recombinant rat-derived B2M/Beta-2 microglobulin protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

B2M or Beta-2 microglobulin binds to MHC class II protein complexes and forms homodimers. It responds to cadmium ions and exogenous stimuli and is present in the extracellular space. B2M/Beta-2 microglobulin Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is the recombinant rat-derived B2M/Beta-2 microglobulin protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

B2M, or Beta-2 microglobulin, is predicted to possess MHC class II protein complex binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. It plays a role in the response to cadmium ion and xenobiotic stimulus, and it is located in the extracellular space. B2M serves as a biomarker for conditions such as acute kidney failure, pyelonephritis, and ureteral obstruction. The human ortholog(s) of this gene have been implicated in various health conditions, including arthritis, familial visceral amyloidosis, immunodeficiency 43, and inflammatory bowel disease. B2M exhibits biased expression in tissues such as the spleen, lung, and nine other tissues, suggesting its involvement in diverse physiological processes.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
