Mouse Butyrophilin Subfamily 1, Member A1 (BTN1A1) Protein

Background

Butyrophilin subfamily 1 member A1 (BTN1A1) is a member of the butyrophilin family, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The butyrophilin family consists of proteins that play crucial roles in immune regulation and cellular communication. BTN1A1 is primarily known for its role in milk fat globule secretion in mammary epithelial cells and has also been implicated in various immune functions. This protein is of significant interest due to its involvement in both lactation and immune modulation, making it a focal point for studies related to immunology, lactation biology, and related diseases.
