Background: BTNL6

Butyrophilin-like 6 (BTNL6) is a member of the BTN/MOG Ig-superfamily and functions with BTNL1 as a regulator of immune cell proliferation (1). Mouse BTNL6 is a 539 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains a signal peptide followed by an extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic domain. The ECD features a V-type and a C-type Ig-like domain and one glycosylation site. The Btnl6 gene is found only in mice (2). The ECD of mouse BTNL6 (aa 29-249) shares 47% and 83% sequence identity with the ECD of human BTNL2A2 and rat BTNL9, respectively. BTNL6 expression is coordinated as a heteromeric protein with BTNL1, and the presence of this complex is correlated with expansion of gamma delta T cells, especially those containing V gamma7V delta4 TCR (2). Btnl6 shows striking sequence similarity to Skint1; is also largely restricted to an epithelial tissue (the small intestine) replete with T cells (4). Our in-house studies showed BTNL6 co-inhibited anti-CD3 induced IL-2 secretion on CD3+ cells.
