- Description
- Predicted to have ATP binding activity and protein kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen via MHC class I; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of innate immune response. Predicted to localize to MHC class I protein complex; extracellular region; and integral component of membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arthritis; familial visceral amyloidosis; inflammatory bowel disease; and primary immunodeficiency disease. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; heart; integument; liver; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to human B2M (beta-2-microglobulin).
