CD8A is an important immune glycoprotein that acts as a coreceptor for class I MHC:peptide complexes, linking T cells to antigens presented by APCs. It interacts with TCR and MHC class I, recruits LCK kinase, and initiates multiple signaling pathways. CD8 alpha Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived CD8 alpha protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

The CD8A, an integral membrane glycoprotein, plays a critical role in the immune response, fulfilling multiple functions in responses against both external and internal threats. In T-cells, it primarily functions as a coreceptor for the MHC class I molecule:peptide complex, interacting simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class I proteins presented by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). This interaction leads to the recruitment of the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK, in turn, initiates diverse intracellular signaling pathways, phosphorylating various substrates and ultimately promoting 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 the conjugation and lysis of multiple target cells. CD8A homodimer molecules also contribute to the survival and differentiation of activated lymphocytes into memory CD8 T-cells. The CD8A forms disulfide-linked complexes at the cell surface and also homodimers in various cell types, including NK-cells and peripheral blood T-lymphocytes. It interacts with the MHC class I HLA-A/B2M dimer and with LCK in a zinc-dependent manner.
