Gene Information

human ... BTN1A1(696)

General description

Butyrophilin, subfamily 1, member A1, a BTN family member, is found in mammary tissue, spleen and thymus. Butyrophilin 1a1 (Btn1a1) is highly expressed in the lactating mammary gland and is secreted into milk in association with lipid droplets. Btn1a1 functions either as a structural protein or as a signaling receptor by binding to xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase.

Specificity

Anti-Butyrophilin-1A1 polyclonal antibody reacts with human Butyrophilin-1A1 proteins.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human BTN1A1

Application

Anti-Butyrophilin-1A1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag Btn1a1 proteins for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the role of Btn1a1 in lactation.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Butyrophilin is the major protein associated with fat droplets in the milk. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It may have a cell surface receptor function. The human butyrophilin gene is localized in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region of 6p and may have arisen relatively recently in evolution by the shuffling of exons between 2 ancestral gene families.Butyrophilin is the major protein associated with fat droplets in the milk.
