CD3D Protein, Canine (HEK293, Fc)

CD3D protein is a component of the TCR-CD3 complex on T lymphocytes and plays a key role in adaptive immunity. It transmits signals through the CD3D, CD3E, CD3G, and CD3Z chains upon TCR engagement. CD3D Protein, Canine (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant canine-derived CD3D protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag. The total length of CD3D Protein, Canine (HEK293, Fc) is 103 a.a., with molecular weight of ~36.2 KDa.

CD3D Protein, an integral part of the TCR-CD3 complex on the surface of T-lymphocytes, plays a pivotal role in the adaptive immune response. Activated by antigen-presenting cells (APCs), the T-cell receptor (TCR) transmits signals through the CD3 chains CD3D, CD3E, CD3G, and CD3Z, which harbor immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) in their cytoplasmic domain. Upon TCR engagement, these ITAMs are phosphorylated by Src family protein tyrosine kinases LCK and FYN, activating downstream signaling pathways. Beyond its role in signal transduction for T-cell activation, CD3D is indispensable for thymocyte differentiation, contributing to the correct intracellular assembly and surface expression of the TCR-CD3 complex. Thymocytes lacking a functional TCR-CD3 complex face impaired differentiation. CD3D also interacts with coreceptors CD4 and CD8, establishing a functional link between the TCR and coreceptors crucial for the activation and positive selection of CD4 or CD8 T-cells. The TCR-CD3 complex comprises CD3D/CD3E and CD3G/CD3E heterodimers, forming TCRalpha/CD3E/CD3G and TCRbeta/CD3G/CD3E trimers that, in turn, interact with CD3Z homodimers to complete the hexameric TCR-CD3 complex. Alternatively, TCRalpha and TCRbeta can be substituted by TCRgamma and TCRdelta. These intricate interactions highlight CD3D's multifaceted role in orchestrating T-cell responses.
