| Function |
The pre-T-cell receptor complex (composed of PTCRA, TCRB and the CD3 complex) regulates early T-cell development. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in immature but not mature T-cells. Also found in CD34+ cells from peripheral blood, CD34+ precursors from umbilical cord blood and adult bone marrow. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8618853, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8760805}.
