A new T-cell receptor gene lies just 5' to the JαCαcoding regions. Its placement in this location suggests a novel mechanism for the regulation of expression of one T-cell receptor polypeptide to another during ontogeny. Rearrangement of this locus occurs very early in thymic differentiation and its RNA expression parallels that of the γ-chain in thymic subpopulations, making this a possible candidate for the recently described δ-chain of the T-cell receptor.
