Article Synopsis
- Butyrophilin-like 2 (BTNL2) is a protein linked to immune responses, particularly related to diseases like sporadic inclusion body myositis and sarcoidosis.
- BTNL2 is mainly found in the digestive tract, especially in the small intestine and Peyer's patches, and is located in epithelial and dendritic cells.
- It has a unique structure and does not interact with typical B7 family receptors, indicating its role as a negative regulator of T-cell activity, particularly in inflammatory bowel disease.
