Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 236 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Sequence processing | The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Identifies cytotoxic/suppressor T-cells that interact with MHC class I bearing targets. CD8 is thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing. CD8 alpha chains binds to class I MHC molecules alpha-3 domains. |
| Subunit structure | In general heterodimer of an alpha and a beta chain linked by two disulfide bonds. Can also form homodimers. |
| Subcellular location | |
| Sequence similarities | Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. |
