CD1d protein is a molecule of the immune system. It is involved in presenting a lipidic antigen to NKT cells. Indeed, these proteins are located on the surface of the plasma membrane of APC. When the recognition between the CD1d bound to its lipidic ligand and the TCR of a NKT cell occurs, the lymphocyte turns out to be activated. Thus, the production of cytotoxic molecules such as Th1, Th2, interleukin-4 and INF-gamma is triggered by this activation. | CD1d protein is a molecule of the immune system.
