The Butyrophilin btn2a1 (Catalog #MBS834136) is an Antibody produced from Guinea Pig and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Butyrophilin antibody reacts with Bovine and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. MyBioSource\'s Butyrophilin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB).WB: 1:2000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Butyrophilin btn2a1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
The Butyrophilin btn2a1 product has the following accession number(s) (GI #2114482) (NCBI Accession #AAC02654.1). Researchers may be interested in using Bioinformatics databases such as those available at The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website for more information about accession numbers and the proteins they represent. Even researchers unfamiliar with bioinformatics databases will find the NCBI databases to be quite user friendly and useful.

Guinea Pig polyclonal Butyrophilin antibody.
Biological Significance: Butyrophilin (Btn) genes constitute a subgroup of at least 10 genes in the Ig superfamily identified in human, mouse, cow, goat and other species. The eponymous Btn gene (BTN1A1 in humans; Btn1a1 in mouse) is highly expressed in the secretory epithelium of the mammary gland during lactation. Other homologues are predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and the intestine and erythroid cells. In contrast, BTN2A1 and 2 and BTN3A1, 2, and 3 are widely expressed in many tissues, suggesting that the structural domains of Btn proteins may have both universal and tissue-specific functions. Cross-Reactivity: Rat, Mouse
Immunogen: Butyrophilin antibody was raised in Guinea Pig using Butyrophilin purified from bovine milk fat globule membrane as the immunogen. In general, we may offer more than one antibody to a given target to enable options for the researcher. Available antibodies recognizing Butyrophilin are readily searchable from our website. Different antibodies against the same target such as Butyrophilin may be optimized or tested for different applications and species. This enables researchers to select the option that may be best for their model system, to screen more than antibody to determine which one may be best for their model system, as well as to use more than one antibody to follow up on and validate their results.
