initialism: TCR
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13714
Antigen-specific receptor on T cells composed of one set of heterodimeric chains. Two types of TCR heterodimers are known (\(\upalpha/\upbeta\) and \(\upgamma/\updelta\)).
Note: Functional binding for TCR requires a complex of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule, antigenic peptide, and TCR.
