Biological function summary

TCR alpha and beta chains form a heterodimeric complex with other important proteins like CD3 to transmit signals inside the T-cell upon antigen binding. This complex becomes active when T-cells recognize peptide antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on antigen-presenting cells. The interaction between TCR and MHC-peptide complex initializes T-cell activation and subsequent immune responses being central to adaptive immunity.

Pathways

TCR alpha and beta are integral to the T-cell receptor signaling pathway. This pathway facilitates the activation of important transcription factors such as NF-kB and AP-1 which drive T-cell proliferation and differentiation. The signaling involves several other proteins such as protein kinase C theta and ZAP-70 which further propagate intracellular signaling cascades essential for a fully functional immune response.
