[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/B2MG_HUMAN B2MG_HUMAN]] Defects in B2M are the cause of hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia (HYCATHYP) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/241600 241600]]. Affected individuals show marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulin and albumin, probably due to rapid degradation.<ref>PMID:16549777</ref>   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.<ref>PMID:3532124</ref> <ref>PMID:1336137</ref> <ref>PMID:7554280</ref> <ref>PMID:4586824</ref> <ref>PMID:8084451</ref> <ref>PMID:12119416</ref> <ref>PMID:12796775</ref> <ref>PMID:16901902</ref> <ref>PMID:16491088</ref> <ref>PMID:17646174</ref> <ref>PMID:18835253</ref> <ref>PMID:18395224</ref> <ref>PMID:19284997</ref>  
== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CD1B_HUMAN CD1B_HUMAN]] Antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self lipid and glycolipid antigens and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells.<ref>PMID:10981968</ref> <ref>PMID:14716313</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/B2MG_HUMAN B2MG_HUMAN]] Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Human T cell autoreactivity toward lipid antigens presented by CD1 proteins can manifest in numerous diseases, including psoriasis, contact hypersensitivities, and allergies. However, the molecular mechanisms for regulating T cell autoreactivity toward lipid antigens remain unclear. We determined the basis for T cell receptor (TCR) autoreactivity toward CD1b bound to self-phospholipids. The spectrum of self-antigens captured by CD1b skews toward abundant membrane phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. However, TCRs can specifically recognize rare phospholipids, including phosphatidylglycerol (PG). The structure of an autoreactive TCR bound to CD1b-PG shows that discrimination occurs through a marked induced fit movement of PG so that its polar head group fits snugly into the cationic cup of the TCR. Conversely, TCR binding toward ubiquitous self-phospholipids was sterically or electrostatically repelled. Accordingly, we describe a mechanism of TCR autoreactivity toward rare phospholipids and avoidance of autoreactivity to the most abundant self-phospholipids.
