[[Beta-2 microglobulin]] ('''B2M''') is a component of MHC class I system. B2M associates with MHC class I α chain, CD1 and Qa. Loss of B2M function causes iron excess. <ref>PMID:21131979</ref> For more details, see: [[Human beta two microglobulin]]. | [[Beta-2 microglobulin]] ('''B2M''') is a component of MHC class I system.
