[[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> | |||

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HMHA1_HUMAN HMHA1_HUMAN]] GTPase activator for the Rho-type GTPases (Potential).<ref>PMID:8260714</ref><ref>PMID:8532022</ref><ref>PMID:9798702</ref><ref>PMID:12601144</ref> Precursor of the histocompatibility antigen HA-1. More generally, minor histocompatibility antigens (mHags) refer to immunogenic peptide which, when complexed with MHC, can generate an immune response after recognition by specific T-cells. The peptides are derived from polymorphic intracellular proteins, which are cleaved by normal pathways of antigen processing. The binding of these peptides to MHC class I or class II molecules and its expression on the cell surface can stimulate T-cell responses and thereby trigger graft rejection or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from HLA-identical sibling donor. GVHD is a frequent complication after bone marrow transplantation (BMT), due to mismatch of minor histocompatibility antigen in HLA-matched sibling marrow transplants. Specifically, mismatching for mHag HA-1 which is recognized as immunodominant, is shown to be associated with the development of severe GVHD after HLA-identical BMT. HA-1 is presented to the cell surface by MHC class I HLA-A*0201, but also by other HLA-A alleles. This complex specifically elicits donor-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) reactivity against hematologic malignancies after treatment by HLA-identical allogenic BMT. It induces cell recognition and lysis by CTL.<ref>PMID:8260714</ref><ref>PMID:8532022</ref><ref>PMID:9798702</ref><ref>PMID:12601144</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/B2MG_HUMAN B2MG_HUMAN]] Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
