Secondary Information

Protein Function The pre-T-cell receptor (pre-TCR) has a crucial role in the normal development of alphabeta T cells.
Biochemical Properties The pre-TCR comprises an invariant α-chain (pre-Tα) that pairs with any TCR β-chain (TCRβ) following successful TCR β-gene rearrangement.The pre-Tα chain comprised a single immunoglobulin-like domain that is structurally distinct from the constant (C) domain of the TCR α-chain; nevertheless, the mode of association between pre-Tα and TCRβ mirrored that mediated by the Cα-Cβ domains of the αβTCR.

Additional Comments The pre-TCR head-to-tail dimerization creates two new interfaces, each involving the C9CGF b-sheet of pre-Ta from one receptor interacting with the b-sheet of the unpaired Vb domain from the other
