Bovine beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m) was purified from colostrum milk in two chromatographic steps: anion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration. The amino acid sequence was determined to confirm that the purified protein was beta 2-m. A molecular weight of 11.8 kDa beta 2-m was estimated using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Bovine beta 2-m consists of 98 amino acid residues and contains one disulfide linkage connecting residues 25 and 79. The amino acid sequence determined by this study is different from a previously published sequence at three sites, but agrees with the amino acid sequence from cDNA. Thus, we can conclude that the amino acid sequence determined in this study is correct.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001613 beta 2-Microglobulin An 11-kDa protein associated with the outer membrane of many cells including LYMPHOCYTES. It is the small subunit of MHC CLASS I MOLECULES. Association with beta 2-microglobulin is generally required for the transport of class I heavy chains from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface. Beta 2-microglobulin is present in small amounts in serum, CEREBROSPINAL FLUID, and urine of healthy individuals, and to a much greater degree in the urine and plasma of patients with tubular PROTEINURIA, renal failure, or kidney transplants. Thymotaxin,beta 2 Microglobulin
