Gene information for CD3E (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID916
Official gene symbolCD3E
Full nameCD3e molecule, epsilon (CD3-TCR complex)
Aliases,FLJ18683,T3E,TCRE,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is the CD3-epsilon polypeptide, which together with CD3-gamma, -delta and -zeta, and the T-cell receptor alpha/beta and gamma/delta heterodimers, forms the T-cell receptor-CD3 complex. This complex plays an important role in coupling antigen recognition to several intracellular signal-transduction pathways. The genes encoding the epsilon, gamma and delta polypeptides are located in the same cluster on chromosome 11. The epsilon polypeptide plays an essential role in T-cell development. Defects in this gene cause immunodeficiency. This gene has also been linked to a susceptibility to type I diabetes in women. [provided by RefSeq]
