T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain
A protein that is a translation product of the human CD8A gene or a 1:1 ortholog thereof. CD8 is a transmembrane that is a co-receptor for MHC class-I antigen/T-cell receptor interaction. The most common form of CD8 is composed of a CD8 alpha and a CD8 beta chain. [ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11114424 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD8 ]
