'''CD1''' (or '''Cluster of Differentiation 1''') is related to class I MHC molecules.  CD1 is expressed on the surface of antigen presenting cells and presents lipid antigens to T cells.  There are 3 groups of CD1 differing in their lipid anchoring.  Group 1 contains CD1a, CD1b and CD1c.  Group 2 contains CD1d.  Group 3 contains CD1e.  CD1 structure is comprised of a heavy chain with a1, a2 and a3 domains which is non-covalently associated with β-microglobulin.  CD1 contains a larger and deeper antigen binding groove than class I MHC molecules.
