This protein consists of seven <scene name='Sandbox11/Beta-2-microglobulin/1'>Beta-sheets</scene> shown here in purple. It also has a small <scene name='Sandbox11/Beta_2_microglobulin/1'>alpha-helix</scene> on the surface of the protein shown in teal. | This protein consists of seven <scene name='Sandbox11/Beta-2-microglobulin/1'>Beta-sheets</scene> shown here in purple.

Beta-2-microglobulin is a serum protein found in association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells (Gussow et al., 1987 [PubMed 3312414])[1] | Beta-2-microglobulin is a serum protein found in association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells (Gussow et al., 1987 [PubMed 3312414])[1] | ||
