Anti-Mouse CD1d, APC conjugated, clone 19G11

CD1d is a type I transmembrane protein and member of the MHC family, with a molecular weight ranging from 43-49 kD, depending on the glycosylation degree. CD1d is expressed by antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells, monocytes, macrophages and B cells, also expressed by thymocytes and intestinal epithelial cells. CD1d present glycolipids to iNKT cells that recognize them by their Valpha14i TCR. Protein function: Antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self glycolipids and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T- cells. [The UniProt Consortium]
