CD4 is expressed on the surface of T helper cells, regulatory T cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, and plays an important role in the development and activation of T cells. On T cells, CD4 is the co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR), and these two distinct structures recognize the Antigen-Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). Specifically, the D1 domain of CD4 interacts with the Î²2-domain of the MHC class II molecule. CD4 ensures specificity of the TCR-antigen interaction, prolongs the contact between the T cell and the antigen presenting cell, and recruits the tyrosine kinase Lck, which is essential for T cell activation (1).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nCd4; CD4 antigen; L3T; L3T4; Ly-; Ly-4; OTTMUSP00000027399; T-cell differentiation antigen L3T4; T-cell surface antigen T4\/Leu-3; T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4; T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4 precursor (T-cell surface antigen T4\/Leu-3) (T-cell differentiation antigen L3T4)\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: M\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nSource\/Isotype: Rat IgG2a kappa","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800390029481,"sku":"38341S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-38341s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
