Target Details for CD8B

Target: CD8B (CD8b Molecule (CD8B))

Alternative Name: CD8b (CD8B Products)

Synonyms: Cd8b antibody, Ly-3 antibody, Ly-C antibody, Lyt-3 antibody, CD8B1 antibody, LEU2 antibody, LY3 antibody, LYT3 antibody, P37 antibody, Cd8b1 antibody, CD8b molecule antibody, CD8 antigen, beta chain 1 antibody, Cd8b antibody, CD8B antibody, Cd8b1 antibody

Background: CD8b molecule,The CD8b (CD8 beta) subunit of CD8 T cell coreceptor is expressed in CD8 alpha/beta heterodimers on majority of MHC I-restricted conventional T cells and thymocytes and in CD8 alpha/alpha homodimers on subsets of memory T cells, intraepithelial lymphocytes, NK cells, macrophages, mast cells, and dendritic cells. Regulation of CD8 beta level on T cell surface seems to be an important mechanism to control their effector function. Assembly of CD8 alpha/beta but not alpha/alpha dimers is connected with formation or localization to the lipid rafts. Recruiting triggered TCR complexes to these membrane microdomains as well as affinity of TCR to MHC I is modulated by CD8, thereby affecting the functional diversity of the TCR signaling.,Ly-3, Ly-C, Lyt-3
