'''CD4''' (or '''Cluster of Differentiation 4''') is a glycoprotein found on the surface of immune cells.  CD4 has 4 immunoglobulin (Ig) domains (D1-D4), a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail domain.  D1 and D3 resemble Ig variable domain and D2 and D4 resemble the Ig constant domain.  The D1 domain interacts with class II MHC molecules.  CD4 helps T-cell receptors (TCR) interact with antigen-presenting cells.  The CD4 tail interacts with tyrosine kinase Lck which activates molecular components of the signaling pathway.
