The BTN2A2 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO15893) is a key tool for researchers studying BTN2A2, a cell surface protein involved in immune regulation and modulation. This polyclonal antibody, generated in rabbits, offers high specificity and reactivity with human samples, making it a valuable resource for Western blot applications. By binding to the BTN2A2 protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it an essential tool for studies in immunology and cancer research.
BTN2A2, also known as immune checkpoint protein, plays a crucial role in immune response modulation by regulating T cell activation and cytokine release. Its significance in immune homeostasis makes it a promising target for research into diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders. Understanding the function of BTN2A2 is vital for developing targeted therapies that manipulate immune responses in these conditions, offering new possibilities for treatment and management.

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
