Function

Butyrophilin is the major protein associated with fat droplets in the milk. This gene is a member of the BTN2 subfamily of genes, which encode proteins belonging to the butyrophilin protein family. The gene is located in a cluster on chromosome 6, consisting of seven genes belonging to the expanding B7/butyrophilin-like group, a subset of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. The encoded protein is a type 1 receptor glycoprotein involved in lipid, fatty-acid and sterol metabolism. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined.[7]

gollark: I think I have a chat recorder for terra. Wonder if it still works.
gollark: No.
gollark: Terra: no.
gollark: In fact, he's on now, you just can't interact with him at all in any way.
gollark: He has, he was just invisible.
