Target intelligence / Profile preview
T-cell surface glycoprotein CD1a (CD1a)
- Target
- CD1a
- Molecular classification
- Antigen-presenting molecule, Transmembrane glycoprotein, MHC class I-like molecule
01
Overview
CD1a is a transmembrane glycoprotein that presents lipid and glycolipid antigens to T-cell receptors, playing a crucial role in the immune response. It is structurally related to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins and forms heterodimers with beta-2-microglobulin. CD1a is primarily involved in presenting antigens to natural killer T-cells, which are important for recognizing and responding to lipid-based antigens from pathogens or self-antigens[2][3][5].
