Gene Information
human ... BTN2A1(11120)
General description
The gene BTN2A1 (butyrophilin subfamily 2 member A1) is mapped to human chromosome 6p22.1. It is ubiquitously expressed. BTN2A1 is an MHC (major histocompatibility complex)-encoded cell surface glycoprotein.
Immunogen
Butyrophilin subfamily 2 member A1 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
BTN2A1 (butyrophilin subfamily 2 member A1) is suggested to have roles in lipid, fatty acid, and sterol metabolism. Polymorphisms in BTN2A1 are linked with dyslipidemia, myocardial infarction, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease and hypertension.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

We have previously shown that the C→T polymorphism (rs6929846) of the butyrophilin, subfamily 2, member A1 gene (BTN2A1) was significantly associated with myocardial infarction. Considering that dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor for coronary heart disease, it was hypothesized that

Although recent genetic studies suggested that several genetic variants increase the risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD), the genes that underlie genetic susceptibility to this condition remain to be identified definitively. We showed that the C→T polymorphism (rs6929846) of BTN2A1

We previously showed that the -1131T→C polymorphism (rs662799) of the apolipoprotein A-V gene (APOA5) and the C→T polymorphism (rs6929846) of the butyrophilin, subfamily 2, member A1 gene (BTN2A1) were significantly associated with an increased serum concentration of triglycerides, a decreased

The MHC-encoded butyrophilin, BTN2A1, is a cell surface glycoprotein related to the extended family of B7 costimulatory molecules. BTN2A1 mRNA was expressed in most human tissues, but protein expression was significantly lower in leukocytes. An Ig-fusion protein of BTN2A1 bound

We previously showed that the C→T polymorphism (rs6929846) of BTN2A1 was significantly associated with myocardial infarction in Japanese individuals by a genome-wide association study. Given that diabetes mellitus is an important risk factor for myocardial infarction, the association of rs6929846
