Btn2a2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in T cell receptor signaling pathway and negative regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; negative regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of T cell activation. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including BTN2A2 (butyrophilin subfamily 2 member A2).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Btn2a2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
