Butyrophilin-like 6 (BTNL6) is a member of the BTN/MOG Ig-superfamily and functions with BTNL1 as a regulator of immune cell proliferation. The Btnl6 gene is found only in mice. 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 gamma 7Vdelta4 TCR. Btnl6 shows striking sequence similarity to Skint1, is also largely restricted to an epithelial tissue (the small intestine) replete with T cells. Our in-house studies showed BTNL6 co-inhibited anti-CD3 induced IL-2 secretion on CD3+ cells.
