[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Requires the partner CD8A for efficient cell surface expression (PubMed:3145196). The heterodimer CD8A/CD8B localizes to lipid rafts due to CD8B cytoplasmic tail palmitoylation. .; [Isoform 2]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein .; [Isoform 3]: Secreted .; [Isoform 4]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein .; [Isoform 5]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein .; [Isoform 6]: Secreted .; [Isoform 7]: Secreted .; [Isoform 8]: Secreted .
Isoform 1, isoform 3, isoform 5, isoform 6, isoform 7 and isoform 8 are expressed in both thymus and peripheral CD8+ T-cells. Expression of isoform 1 is higher in thymus CD8+ T-cells than in peripheral CD8+ T-cells. Expression of isoform 6 is higher in peripheral CD8+ T-cells than in thymus CD8+ T-cells.
