Short Description | Rabbit monoclonal against CD4 |
Description | CD4, a single chain transmembrane glycoprotein, is found on a T cell subset (helper/inducer) representing 45% of peripheral blood lymphocytes. It is also present on 80% of thymocytes and at a lower level on monocytes. It is involved in recognition of antigen presented along with MHC class II by APCs. It serves as receptor for HIV. |

Function | Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses, In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class II molecule:peptide complex, The antigens presented by class II peptides are derived from extracellular proteins while class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins, Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class II presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs), In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex, LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of T-helper cells, In other cells such as macrophages or NK cells, plays a role in differentiation/activation, cytokine expression and cell migration in a TCR/LCK-independent pathway, Participates in the development of T-helper cells in the thymus and triggers the differentiation of monocytes into functional mature macrophages, |
Post-translational Modifications | Palmitoylation and association with LCK contribute to the enrichment of CD4 in lipid rafts. |
Cellular Localization | Cell membrane |
Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in T-helper cells. The presence of CD4 is a hallmark of T-helper cells which are specialized in the activation and growth of cytotoxic T-cells, regulation of B cells, or activation of phagocytes. CD4 is also present in other immune cells such as macrophages, dendritic cells or NK cells. |
