Gene: [15q2/B2M] beta-2-microglobulin; hemodialysis-related amyloidosis (HRA); carpal tunnel syndrome (posthemodialysis);
FUN | [1] The
beta-2-microglobulin is the beta- (or, light-) chain of MHC class I
molecules (see FAM:MHC1/06p2133). In addition, b2m polypeptides constitute
the light chains of a group of structurally related glycoproteins
recognized by antibodies of the First Cluster of Differentiation (CD1a,
CD1b and CD1c). All of the mentioned proteins are coexpressed with b2m on
many somatic cells except cells of the central nervous system. [2] Two cytokines, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha (GEM:12q241/IFNG; GEM:06p2133/TNFA), independently increase HLA-ABC and b2m cell surface expression on many normal cells and tumor cell lines by increasing the transcription of these genes. The latter share two conserved regulatory elements, an NF kappa B-like site and the IFN consensus sequence, that act as a constitutive enhancer and an IFN-responsive element, respectively. IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha increase HLA-ABC and B2M gene expression by inducing factor binding to the regulatory elements in both genes." |
