CD3E Protein Description

T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 epsilon chain, also known as CD3E, is a single-pass type I  membrane protein. CD3E contains 1 Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domain and 1 ITAM domain. CD3E, together with CD3-gamma, CD3-delta and CD3-zeta, and the T-cell receptor alpha/beta and gamma/delta heterodimers, forms the T cell receptor-CD3 complex. The genes encoding the epsilon, gamma and delta polypeptides are located in the same cluster on chromosome 11. T cell receptor-CD3 complex plays an important role in coupling antigen recognition to several intracellular signal-transduction pathways. This complex is critical for T-cell development and function, and represents one of the most complex transmembrane receptors. The T cell receptor-CD3 complex is unique in having ten cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs). CD3E plays an essential role in T-cell development, and defects in CD3E gene cause severe immunodeficiency. This gene has also been linked to a susceptibility to type I  diabetes in women. CD3E has been shown to interact with TOP2B, CD3EAP and NCK2.
