Gene information for BTN3A1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11119
Official gene symbolBTN3A1
Full namebutyrophilin, subfamily 3, member A1
Aliases,BT3.1,BTF5,CD277,MGC141880,
Gene summaryThe butyrophilin (BTN) genes are a group of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-associated genes that encode type I membrane proteins with 2 extracellular immunoglobulin (Ig) domains and an intracellular B30.2 (PRYSPRY) domain. Three subfamilies of human BTN genes are located in the MHC class I region: the single-copy BTN1A1 gene (MIM 601610) and the BTN2 (e.g., BTN2A1; MIM 613590) and BTN3 (e.g., BNT3A1) genes, which have undergone tandem duplication, resulting in 3 copies of each (summary by Smith et al., 2010 [PubMed 20208008]).[supplied by OMIM]
