CD1A Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

CD1 proteins are a family of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-like antigen-presenting molecules that present lipids to T cells. The cytoplasmic tails (CTs) of all human CD1 isoforms, with the exception of CD1a, contain tyrosine-based sorting motifs, responsible for the internalization of proteins by the clathrin-mediated pathway. CD1a closer to MHC class I in its trafficking and potential antigen-loading compartments among CD1 isoforms.
