Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of dog β2-microglobulin (BMG/β2-MG) concentrations in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a serum protein found in association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells. The protein has a predominantly beta-pleated sheet structure that can form amyloid fibrils in some pathological conditions. A mutation in this gene has been shown to result in hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
