CD1D Recombinant Protein

The CD1 multigene family encodes five forms of the CD1 T cell surface glycoprotein in human, designated CD1A, 1B, 1C, 1D and 1E. CD1, a type 1 membrane protein, has structural similarity to the MHC class I antigen and has been shown to present lipid antigens for recognition by T lymphocytes. CD1 antigens are associated with β-2-Microglobulin and expressed on cortical thymocytes, Langerhans cells, a B cell subset and some dendritic cells. Adaptor protein complexes and CD1-associated chaperones control CD1 trafficking and the development and activation of CD1-restricted T cells. CD1D is present on human intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) and exists as a β-2-Microglobulinindependent nonglycosylated form or a β-2-Microglobulin-dependent glycosylated form. The human CD1D gene maps to chromosome 1q23.1 and encodes a 335 amino acid protein that influences normal T cell maturation.
