Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. Exogenously applied M.tuberculosis EsxA or EsxA-EsxB (or EsxA expressed in host) binds B2M and decreases its export to the cell surface (total protein levels do not change), probably leading to defects in class I antigen presentation (PubMed:25356553).SUBUNIT Heterodimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Beta-2-microglobulin is the beta-chain of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. Polymers of beta 2-microglobulin can be found in tissues from patients on long-term hemodialysis. B2M alone (not in complex with HLA-I) interacts with M.tuberculosis EsxA (ESAT-6) and an EsxA-EsxB (CFP-10) complex; the tripartite complex can be detected in the host endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:25356553). The B2M-EsxA complex can be detected in patients with pleural tuberculosis and is stable from pH 4.0 to 8.0 and in the presence of 2M NaCl (PubMed:25356553). Forms a heterotrimer with HLA-E and a self- or a foreign peptide (PubMed:9427624). Forms a heterotrimer with HLA-G and a self-peptide (PubMed:17056715). Forms a heterotrimer with HLA-F and a self-peptide (PubMed:10605026). Forms a heterotrimer with MR1 and a metabolite antigen.INTERACTION Detected in serum and urine (PubMed:1336137, PubMed:7554280).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION (Microbial infection) In the presence of M.tuberculosis EsxA-EsxB complex decreased amounts of B2M are found on the cell surface (PubMed:25356553).PTM Glycation of Ile-21 is observed in long-term hemodialysis patients.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Apart from the presence of causative mutations, beta-2-microglobulin may adopt the fibrillar configuration of amyloid, resulting in amyloidosis, when its serum levels are persistently high, as seen in patients on long-term hemodialysis (PubMed:7918443). In contrast to patients with dialysis-related amyloidosis, patients with hereditary amyloidosis have normal circulating concentrations of beta2-microglobulin (PubMed:22693999).SIMILARITY Belongs to the beta-2-microglobulin family.ONLINE INFORMATION Beta-2-microglobulin entry
