cell surface glycoprotein, predicted to act as a coreceptor to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class I MHC molecules

AI Protein Function :
cd8a encodes a membrane‑bound co‑receptor that pairs with cd8b to form a heterodimer on the surface of T‑lymphocytes. It functions as a coreceptor for MHC class I molecules, enhancing T‑cell receptor s...[+]
