Disease

[CD8A_HUMAN] Defects in CD8A are a cause of familial CD8 deficiency (CD8 deficiency) [MIM:608957]. Familial CD8 deficiency is a novel autosomal recessive immunologic defect characterized by absence of CD8+ cells, leading to recurrent bacterial infections.

Function

[CD8A_HUMAN] Identifies cytotoxic/suppressor T-cells that interact with MHC class I bearing targets. CD8 is thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing. CD8 alpha chains binds to class I MHC molecules alpha-3 domains.

About this Structure

2hp4 is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
