Description

The production of this Recombinant Human CD8A protein required the insertion of a DNA fragment (CD8A, 22-182aa) into a plasmid vector and the transferral of this vector into Mammalian cell cells (the step of transformation). The cells were then cultured and induced to express the CD8A protein. This recombinant protein was fused with N-terminal 6xHis tag. Its purity is 90%+ determined by SDS-PAGE.

CD8A(also called MAL) is a gene encoding a protein named T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain (also known as T-lymphocyte differentiation antigen T8/Leu-2 or CD8a) in human. CD8a protein can form homodimers and heterodimers with CD8a and CD8β, respectively. Both homodimers and heterodimers are CD8 protein, which is a co-receptor for T cell receptor when it interacts with MHC class I–peptide complex. the CD8a is required for expression of both dimers on the cell surface. Emerging evidence has revealed that CD8A gene is involved in coronavirus biology, and is relevant to COVID-19 prognosis.

Target Background

Function

Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class I molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins while class II derived from extracellular proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class I proteins presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). This mechanism enables CTLs to recognize and eliminate infected cells and tumor cells. In NK-cells, the presence of CD8A homodimers at the cell surface provides a survival mechanism allowing conjugation and lysis of multiple target cells. CD8A homodimer molecules also promote the survival and differentiation of activated lymphocytes into memory CD8 T-cells.
