HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: B2MR
Cytogenetic location: 15q13-q15 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 15:27,800,001-44,500,000
Two groups assigned the beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) regulator locus to chromosome 15 by dosage effect (Manolov et al., 1979; Zhang and Zech, 1981). The regional assignment was 15q13-q15. Cell lines lacking this locus through chromosomal deletion produced B2M but did not insert it into the cell membrane.
