β2-microglobulin gene duplication in cetartiodactyla remains intact only in pigs and possibly confers selective advantage to the species

Several β2-microglobulin (B2M)-bound protein complexes undertake key roles in various
immune system pathways, including the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), cluster of
differentiation 1 (CD1) protein, non-classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC), and
well-known MHC class I molecules. Therefore, the duplication of B2M may lead to an
increase in the biological competence of organisms to the environment. Based on the pig
genome assembly SSC10. 2, a segmental duplication of~ 45.5 kb, encoding the entire B2M …
