Type II Collagen-Specific T Cell Receptor
- Molecular classification
- T Cell Receptor, Receptor
01
Overview
The type II collagen-specific T cell receptor (TCR) is a membrane-bound protein complex expressed on the surface of certain CD4+ T cells that specifically recognizes peptides derived from type II collagen, a major structural protein in articular cartilage. These receptors play a critical role in autoimmune responses associated with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).
