The BTN2A2 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO15892) is a vital tool for research involving BTN2A2, a cell surface protein known for its role in immune regulation. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the BTN2A2 protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of BTN2A2 in various cell types, making it ideal for studies in immunology and cancer research.BTN2A2 is recognized for its involvement in immune response modulation, particularly in regulating inflammation and inhibiting allergic reactions.
Its significance in maintaining immune homeostasis positions BTN2A2 as a valuable target for research into diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Understanding the function of BTN2A2 is essential for the development of therapies that manipulate immune function in these disease contexts.

Background:
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.
Synonyms:
butyrophilin, subfamily 2, member A2
