Product Specific Information

MA5-14482 targets CD3E in IHC (P) and Western blot applications and shows reactivity with Human and Mouse samples.
The MA5-14482 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues in the cytoplasmic domain of human CD3epsilon. The antibody does not cross react with other subunits of CD3.

Target Information

The CD3 subunit complex is crucial in transducing antigen-recognition signals into the cytoplasm of T cells and in regulating the cell surface expression of the TCR complex.
T cell activation through the antigen receptor (TCR) involves the cytoplasmic tails of the CD3 subunits CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon, and CD3 zeta. These subunits are structurally related members of the immunoglobulin superfamily encoded by closely linked genes on human chromosome 11.

The CD3 components have long cytoplasmic tails that associate with cytoplasmic signal transduction molecules, mediated in part by a double tyrosine-based motif present in a single copy in the CD3 subunits.
CD3 may play a role in TCR-induced growth arrest, cell survival, and proliferation.

The CD3 antigen is present on 68–82% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes, 65–85% of thymocytes, and Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. It is never expressed on B or NK cells. Decreased percentages of T lymphocytes may be observed in some autoimmune diseases.
The genes encoding the CD3 epsilon, gamma, and delta polypeptides are located on chromosome 11. Defects in the CD3 gene are associated with CD3 immunodeficiency.
