Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function The pre-T-cell receptor complex (composed of PTCRA, TCRB and the CD3 complex) regulates early T-cell development. Isoform 1 acts to retain most TCRB intracellularly, while isoform 2 permits higher levels of cell surface TCRB expression and facilitates signaling from the CD3-TCRB complex. {ECO:0000269PubMed:9647201}.
Subcellular Localization Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Isoform 1 is expressed at higher levels than isoform 2 in the thymus while only isoform 2 is expressed in polyclonal beta-only cells. Isoform 1 shows a predominant expression in immature thymocytes. {ECO:0000269PubMed:7973703, ECO:0000269PubMed:9647201}.
