CD3G CD3 gamma subunit of T-cell receptor complex

Gene ID: 917, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: T3G; IMD17; CD3GAMMA; CD3-GAMMA

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is the CD3-gamma polypeptide, which together with CD3-epsilon, -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. Defects in this gene are associated with T cell immunodeficiency.
