PTCRA Gene (Protein Coding)

Pre T Cell Antigen Receptor Alpha

GC06P042915
GIFtS:
37
The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is found in immmature but not mature T-cells. Along with TCRB and CD3 complex, the encoded protein forms the pre-T-cell receptor complex, which regulates early T-cell development. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011] See more...
