T-cell Co-receptor Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4)

Target
CD4
Molecular classification
Transmembrane glycoprotein, Receptor, Cluster of Differentiation (CD) molecule
01

Overview

CD4 is an indispensable co-receptor that enables efficient recognition and response against pathogens presented via MHC class II pathways—serving both structural/adherence roles at immunological synapses and acting as a molecular switchboard linking extracellular cues from APCs directly into potent intracellular signaling events driving adaptive immunity.
