Symbol:	B2mb
Name:	beta-2 microglobulin; b variant
MGI ID:	MGI:6711994
Gene:	B2m  Location: Chr2:121978168-121983563 bp, + strand  Genetic Position: Chr2, 60.55 cM, cytoband F1-F3
Alliance:	B2mb page

Strain of Origin:

C57BL

Allele Type:    Spontaneous (Not Applicable) Mutation:    Nucleotide substitutions   Mutation details: The b variant is runs faster than the a variant on SDS PAGE and was found to have an alanine at amino acid position 85. This allele is found in the C57BL strain family including C57BL/6, C57BL/10, C57L/J, C57BR/cdJ, as well as CAST/Ei, but not in C58/J, which has the a variant. (J:6520, J:7014) Inheritance:    Codominant
