| Homo sapiens CD8A T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain |
| Protein names T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain |
| Alternative names T-lymphocyte differentiation antigen T8/Leu-2 |
| Gene names CD8A |
| Function Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class I molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins while class II derived from extracellular proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class I proteins presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). This mechanism enables CTLs to recognize and eliminate infected cells and tumor cells. In NK-cells, the presence of CD8A homodimers at the cell surface provides a survival mechanism allowing conjugation and lysis of multiple target cells. CD8A homodimer molecules also promote the survival and differentiation of activated lymphocytes into memory CD8 T-cells |
| Subcellular location Secreted |
| Structure Forms disulfide-linked heterodimers with CD8B at the cell surface. Also forms homodimers in several cell types including NK-cells or peripheral blood T-lymphocytes. Interacts with the MHC class I HLA-A/B2M dimer. One HLA-A molecule (mainly via nonpolymorphic alpha-3 domain) interacts with one CD8A homodimer (via CDR-like loop) (PubMed:2784196, PubMed:9177355). Interacts with LCK in a zinc-dependent manner. Interacts with HLA-G; this interaction is direct and might down-regulate T cell receptor signaling |
| Post-translational modification Palmitoylated, but association with CD8B seems to be more important for the enrichment of CD8A in lipid rafts O-glycosylated Phosphorylated in cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) following activation |
| Involvement in disease Immunodeficiency 116 An autosomal recessive immunologic defect characterized by absence of CD8+ cells, leading to recurrent bacterial infections. |
