Comparison of the aggregation of homologous β(2)-microglobulin variants reveals protein solubility as a key determinant of amyloid formation

The mouse and human β(2)-microglobulin protein orthologs are 70 % identical in sequence and share 88 % sequence similarity. These proteins are predicted by various algorithms to have similar aggregation and amyloid propensities. However, whilst human β(2)m (hβ(2)m) forms amyloid-like fibrils in dena...
