Butyrophilin-like genes are emerging as central to tissue associated γδ T cell compartments. Here, the authors show that the butyropilin-like gene-products exert their effects as combinatorially diverse heteromers that differentially affect the selection and maintenance of skin-resident and gut-resident intraepithelial γδ T-cell populations.
