CD8a Monoclonal / VioBlue / REA437
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA437 recognizes the rat CD8a antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein, which is also known as OX-8. CD8 acts as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor and recognizes antigen displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class I MHC molecules. CD8a is expressed as a heterodimer with CD8b on T cell receptor (TCR) alpha/beta and TCR gamma/delta expressing, cytotoxic T cells, and on most thymocytes. As a homodimer of two CD8a chains the CD8 antigen is expressed on most NK cells, a major fraction of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes, some activated CD4+CD8+ T cells and CD8+ T cells from athymic rats. CD8a is also expressed by a T cell subset with regulatory functions. | Additional information: Clone REA437 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. | |

About CD8a
The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen acts as a coreceptor with the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class I MHC molecules. The coreceptor functions as either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains or as a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. This gene encodes the CD8 alpha chain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The major protein isoforms of this gene differ by the presence or absence of a transmembrane domain and thus differ in being a membrane-anchored or secreted protein. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]
