PE anti-human CD8a
CD8α, also known as T8 or Leu2, is a 32-34 kD type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein part of the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD8α is expressed on cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, as well as a majority of thymocytes. CD8α can form a homodimer (CD8α/α) or heterodimer (CD8α/β) with CD8β. CD8α acts as a co-receptor with MHC class I-restricted T cell receptors in antigen recognition and T cell activation, and has been shown to play a role in thymic differentiation. Two domains in CD8α are important for function: the extracellular Ig superfamily domain binds the α3 domain of MHC Class I and the cytoplasmic CXCP motif binds the tyrosine kinase p56 Lck.
