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.
Post-translational: 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.
52.6-59.6 kDa, under reducing conditions; 119.9-136.4 kDa, under non-reducing conditions.

Recombinant Bovine CD8 alpha Protein (rp176246) - SDS-PAGE 3 μg/lane of Recombinant Bovine CD8 alpha Protein was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (N) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing a band at 52.6-59.6 kDa under reducing conditions and 119.9-136.4 kDa under non-reducing conditions. The hFc tag forms dimers under non-reducing (N) conditions (Uniprot: P31783).
