CD1d Products

Description

CD1d is a 335 amino acid member of the CD1 family of glycoproteins. CD1d is an antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self glycolipids and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells. CD1 transmembrane glycoproteins are structurally related to major histocombatibility complex (MHC) proteins and they form dimers with beta-2-microglobulin. They are considered non-classical MHC proteins and CD1d is the only member of group 2 CD1 molecules. Diseases related to CD1d include susceptibility to infections such as tuberculosis and malaria, hypersensitivity reaction type II disease, multiple sclerosis, myocarditis, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and atherosclerosis.
