  Domain Name: IgC_beta2m
Class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) beta2-microglobulin. IgC_beta2m: Immunoglobulin-like domain in beta2-Microglobulin (beta2m). Beta2m is the non-covalently bound light chain of the human class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I). Beta2m is structured as a beta-sandwich domain composed of two facing beta-sheets (four stranded and three stranded), that is typical of the C-type immunoglobulin superfamily. This structure is stabilized by an intramolecular disulfide bridge connecting two Cys residues in the facing beta -sheets. In vivo, MHC-I continuously exposes beta2m on the cell surface, where it may be released to plasmatic fluids, transported to the kidneys, degraded and then excreted.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
