Beta-2-microglobulin
Beta-2 microglobulin is a structural protein sub-unit of the class I major histocompatibility complex. It has a molecular weight of approximately 12 kDa. In dialysis patients, it has the propensity to form amyloid fibrils in a condition known as dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA). The oligomerization mechanisms and fibrillation are of particular interest to the Vachet Research Group at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
