== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CD8A_HUMAN CD8A_HUMAN] Defects in CD8A are a cause of familial CD8 deficiency (CD8 deficiency) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/608957 608957]. Familial CD8 deficiency is a novel autosomal recessive immunologic defect characterized by absence of CD8+ cells, leading to recurrent bacterial infections.
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CD8A_HUMAN CD8A_HUMAN] Identifies cytotoxic/suppressor T-cells that interact with MHC class I bearing targets. CD8 is thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing. CD8 alpha chains binds to class I MHC molecules alpha-3 domains.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
A secreted fragment of the extracellular portion of human CD8 alpha has been expressed in CHO cells, and a deglycosylated and proteolyzed form of this fragment has been crystallized. We report here the crystal structure of this fragment as refined at 2.6 A resolution. The structure was solved by molecular replacement using a superposition of ten variable domains from immunoglobulin light chains as the search model. Only the N-terminal 114 amino acids of CD8 alpha are visible in the electron density maps. The domain formed by these residues possesses a fold typical of immunoglobulin variable domains and associates to form Fv-like homodimers.
