T-cell receptor alpha chain C region (TRAC)

Structure

• alpha chain C region shows sequence homology to its beta chain counterpart

Compartment

membrane

Notes

• isolated from a human leukemic T-cell line, Jurkat
• gene corresponding to this mRNA is rearranged specifically in T-cells; its organization is similar to an Ig gene, with V, D, J, & C regions

More general terms
