CD1d molecules are structurally similar to [[Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I]], but present lipid antigens as opposed to peptides and the cleft where the ligand can bind its protein is different between MHC molecules and CD1d molecules. Indeed, the hydrophobic cleft of CD1d has a narrow opening. | ||
