The CD8 antigen is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediates efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen acts as a coreceptor with the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell in the context of class I MHC molecules. The coreceptor functions as either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains or as a heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. This gene encodes the CD8 alpha chain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

CD8 subunit alpha (CD8A), also known as CD8 alpha and T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain, is a T-cell coreceptor protein. This guide connects human NCBI Gene 925, UniProtKB P01732 and ABMIUM catalogue products associated with CD8A.
Biological function: CD8 alpha is a cell-surface glycoprotein expressed on many cytotoxic T lymphocytes and functions as a coreceptor with the T-cell receptor during recognition of antigen presented by MHC class I molecules. CD8A can form alpha-alpha homodimers or alpha-beta heterodimers with CD8B.
