Human CD8
CD8 is a 32 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein expressed as either a CD8 alpha alpha homodimer or CD8 alpha beta heterodimer. It is expressed on the "cytotoxic/suppressor" subpopulation of peripheral T cells. CD8 functions primarily as a coreceptor with MHC Class I-restricted TCR's in antigen recognition.1-2
