BT2A2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Butyrophilin is the major protein associated with fat droplets in the milk. This gene is a member of the BTN2 subfamily of genes| which encode proteins belonging to the butyrophilin protein family. The gene is located in a cluster on chromosome 6| consisting of seven genes belonging to the expanding B7/butyrophilin-like group| a subset of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. The encoded protein is a type I receptor glycoprotein involved in lipid| fatty-acid and sterol metabolism. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
