The T-cell receptor (TCR), expressed by thymus-derived lymphocytes, is a multicomponent complex responsible for recognizing antigen in the context of MHC molecules. Ti is the antigen-specific binding component of the TCR. On the majority of peripheral T lymphocytes Ti is present as a disulfide-linked alpha-beta heterodimer. A minor fraction express Ti as a gamma-delta heterodimer. The Ti subunits are Ig-like, each containing V and C regions. Ti is noncovalently associated with an invariant set of molecules referred to as the CD3 subunits. CD3 appears early in thymocyte differentiation and remains expressed on all mature T lymphocytes. In the mouse, it consists of five chains, gamma (gamma), delta (delta), epsilon (epsilon), zeta (zeta), and p21. The relative masses of the mouse CD3 chains are 21, 28, 26, 32, (dimer), and 21 kD respectively. 1D4 recognizes human but not mouse CD3zeta. It is most efficient at recognizing the phosphorylated form of CD3zeta (21 kD) but will also bind the 16 kD unphosphorylated monomer as well as higher molecular weight dimers. A synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 153 to 164 of human CD3zeta was used as immunogen. Synonyms: CD3zeta chain
