It forms a part of the MHC class II protein complex with a typical mass around 28 kDa. Predominantly expressed on antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells B cells and macrophages it plays an important role in presenting extracellular antigens to CD4+ T helper cells. By doing so MHC Class II beta enables the adaptive immune response important for identifying and eliminating pathogens.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nMHC Class II beta facilitates the immune system's recognition of foreign particles. As part of the MHC class II complex it binds peptides derived from extracellular proteins processed in the endocytic pathway. This binding allows the presentation of peptide-MHC class II complexes on the cell surface which is recognized by CD4+ T cells thereby triggering T cell activation and proliferation. This mechanism is key for immune surveillance and for initiating the immune response against pathogens.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe MHC Class II beta protein plays a significant role in the antigen processing and presentation pathways alongside proteins such as invariant chain (Ii) and HLA-DM. It is involved in the intracellular process where antigens are loaded onto MHC Class II molecules in the late endosome\/lysosome. Additionally it is a part of the adaptive immune response pathway working in conjunction with other MHC proteins and immunoglobulins to mediate tolerance and immunity.\u003cbr\u003e\nDefects or dysregulation in MHC Class II beta have been connected to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Aberrant expression or function of MHC Class II molecules disturbs immune tolerance leading to self-antigen presentation and the breakdown of self-tolerance triggering autoimmune responses. The MHC Class II region is also associated with HLA-DRB alleles which have been implicated in increased susceptibility to these autoimmune conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843822178473,"sku":"ab114224","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab114224","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
