| Abstract |
New members of the butyrophilin (BT) gene family have been identified by cDNA and genomic cloning. Six genes are described: BT2. 1, 2.2, 2.3, and BT3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. BT2, BT3, and BT form three distinct subfamilies sharing about 95% amino acid identity at the intra subfamily level and 50% identity at the interfamily level. All the BT2 and BT3 subfamily members map close to BT in the juxta-telomeric region of the major histocompatibility complex. The BT2 members have the canonical structural organization of BT, i.e., two immunoglobulin domains followed by a transmembrane anchor and a B30.2 intracytoplasmic domain. In the BT3 subfamily, only BT3.3 has the structural organization of BT. The two other genes, BT3.1 and BT3.2, code for putative protein without the B30.2 domain. In the case of BT3.2, this is due to an Alu insertion in the B30.2 coding exon, leading to a new polyadenylation site. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 March 2024.
All research outputs
#3,798,945
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Immunogenetics
#64
of 1,215 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,218
of 29,626 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Immunogenetics
#2
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,215 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 29,626 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
