Product Overview
Description | Biotinylated Recombinant Human Butyrophilin Subfamily 3 Member A1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Gln30-Gly254 is expressed with a human IgG1 Fc, Avi tag at the C-terminus. |
Accession | O00481 |
Synonym | Butyrophilin subfamily 3 member A1; CD277; BTN3A1; BTF5 |
Gene Background | Butyrophilin Subfamily 3 Member A1 (BTN3A1/CD277) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein member of the Ig superfamily. It is expressed on a wide variety of immune cells. Similar to BTN3A2 and BTN3A3, BTN3A1 is composed of an extracellular N-terminal IgV and a membraneproximal IgC domain followed by a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail. These Ig domains are also found in B7 family costimulatory molecules, suggesting structural and functional similarities between the two protein families. BTN3A1 acts as a critical protein for the activation of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells following detection of distressed cells. The anti-tumor responses of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells may be enhanced with agonistic anti-BTNA3 antibodies. |

Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. |
Endotoxin | Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test. |
Purity | Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. (QC verified) |
Biological Activity | Not tested |
Reconstitution | Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. |
Storage | Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months. |
Shipping | The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Target Details
Target Function | Plays a role in T-cell activation and in the adaptive immune response. Regulates the proliferation of activated T-cells. Regulates the release of cytokines and IFNG by activated T-cells. Mediates the response of T-cells toward infected and transformed cells that are characterized by high levels of phosphorylated metabolites, such as isopentenyl pyrophosphate. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. |
Protein Families | Immunoglobulin superfamily, BTN/MOG family |
Database References | |
Tissue Specificity | Detected on T-cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells and macrophages (at protein level). Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in heart, pancreas and lung, Moderately expressed in placenta, liver and muscle. |
Gene Functions References
- Microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4) controls the dynein-dependent transport of BTN3A1 in response to nucleic acid stimulation, thereby identifying MAP4 as an upstream regulator of BTN3A1. Thus, the depletion of either MAP4 or BTN3A1 impairs cytosolic DNA- or RNA-mediated type I IFN responses. PMID: 27911820
- results show that ligand binding to BTN3A1 induces a conformational change within the intracellular domain that involves the JM region and is required for full activation. PMID: 28705810
- findings show that changes in the juxtamembrane domain of BTN3A1, but not its transmembrane domain, induce a markedly enhanced or reduced gammadelta T cell reactivity PMID: 28461569
- These findings support intracellular sensing of prenyl pyrophosphates by BTN3A1 rather than extracellular presentation. PMID: 26475929
- Human gamma-delta T cells are activated by cytosolic interactions of BTN3A1 with soluble phosphoantigens and the cytoskeletal adaptor periplakin. PMID: 25637025
