Immunoglobulin (Ig) like domain of CD8 alpha chain. Ig_CD8_alpha: immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in CD8 alpha. The CD8 glycoprotein plays an essential role in the control of T-cell selection, maturation and the T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated response to peptide antigen. CD8 is comprised of alpha and beta subunits and is expressed as either an alphaalpha or alphabeta dimer. Both dimeric isoforms can serve as a coreceptor for T cell activation and differentiation, however they have distinct physiological roles, different cellular distributions, unique binding partners etc. Each CD8 subunit is comprised of an extracellular domain containing a v-type Ig-like domain, a single pass transmembrane portion and a short intracellular domain. The Ig domain of CD8 alpha binds to antibodies.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
