关于 BTN2A2

功能概要

嗜乳蛋白是与牛奶中的脂肪滴相关的主要蛋白质。该基因是 BTN2 基因亚家族的成员，其编码属于嗜乳蛋白蛋白家族的蛋白质。该基因位于 6 号染色体上的一个簇中，由属于扩展 B7/嗜乳蛋白样组的七个基因组成，该组是免疫球蛋白基因超家族的一个子集。编码的蛋白质是一种 I 型受体糖蛋白，参与脂质、脂肪酸和甾醇代谢。已经为该基因发现了几种编码不同亚型的可变剪接转录物变体。[RefSeq 提供，2010 年 10 月]

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. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
