Product Specs

Introduction

Butyrophilin subfamily 3 member A1, also known as BTN3A1, is a protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Structurally, it comprises an extracellular N-terminal IgV domain, a membrane-proximal IgC domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. Functionally, BTN3A1 plays a crucial role in T-cell activation and the adaptive immune response. It regulates the proliferation of activated T-cells and influences the release of cytokines, including IFNG, by these cells. Importantly, BTN3A1 mediates the response of T-cells to infected or transformed cells characterized by elevated levels of phosphorylated metabolites like isopentenyl pyrophosphate.

Description

Recombinant human BTN3A1, produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells, is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 464 amino acids (30-254a.a.). It has a molecular mass of 51.1 kDa. However, on SDS-PAGE, its apparent molecular size ranges from approximately 50 to 70 kDa. The protein is expressed with a 239 amino acid hIgG-His tag at the C-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation

The BTN3A1 protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml in Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) containing 10% glycerol.

Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the product should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advisable for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity

The purity of the BTN3A1 protein is greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

BTN3A1 is a type I membrane protein characterized by two extracellular immunoglobulin (Ig) domains and an intracellular B30.2 (PRYSPRY) domain . The protein plays a crucial role in the immune system, particularly in T-cell activation and the adaptive immune response . It regulates the proliferation of activated T-cells and the release of cytokines, including interferon-gamma (IFNG), by these cells . BTN3A1 mediates the response of T-cells towards infected and transformed cells that exhibit high levels of phosphorylated metabolites, such as isopentenyl pyrophosphate .

Genetic and Evolutionary Background

The BTN3A1 gene is one of three BTN3 genes that have undergone tandem duplication, resulting in three copies of each gene in the human genome . This gene family is relatively recent in evolutionary terms, having arisen through the shuffling of exons between two ancestral gene families .

Clinical Significance

BTN3A1 is associated with several diseases, including Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase II Deficiency, Infantile, and Epilepsy . Its role in the immune system makes it a potential target for therapeutic interventions in various immune-related conditions.

Research and Applications

Human recombinant BTN3A1 is used in research to study its function in the immune system and its potential as a therapeutic target. The recombinant protein is produced using recombinant DNA technology, which involves inserting the BTN3A1 gene into an expression system to produce the protein in vitro.
