name: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain isoform 2
def: "A T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain that is a translation product of some mRNA whose exon structure and start site selection renders it capable of giving rise to a protein with the amino acid sequence represented by UniProtKB:P01732-2 or a 1:1 ortholog thereof. Lacking the transmembrane domain found in isoform mCD8alpha, this form is therefore secreted." [PRO:DAN]
