Human Gene BTLA (ENST00000334529.10) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens B and T lymphocyte associated (BTLA), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_181780)
RefSeq Summary (NM_181780): This gene encodes a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein contains a single immunoglobulin (Ig) domain and is a receptor that relays inhibitory signals to suppress the immune response. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011].

  ID: BTLA_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator; AltName: Full=B- and T-lymphocyte-associated protein; AltName: CD_antigen=CD272; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Lymphocyte inhibitory receptor which inhibits lymphocytes during immune response.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with tyrosine phosphatases PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2. Interacts with TNFRSF14/HVEM.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein (Potential).
PTM: Phosphorylated on Tyr residues by TNFRSF14 and by antigen receptors cross-linking, both inducing association with PTPN6 and PTPN11.
PTM: N-glycosylated.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAD18396.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended;

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
