NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a membrane glycoprotein of T lymphocytes that interacts with major histocompatibility complex class II antigenes and is also a receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus. This gene is expressed not only in T lymphocytes, but also in B cells, macrophages, and granulocytes. It is also expressed in specific regions of the brain. The protein functions to initiate or augment the early phase of T-cell activation, and may function as an important mediator of indirect neuronal damage in infectious and immune-mediated diseases of the central nervous system. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
Uniprot Description
Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class II molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class II peptides are derived from extracellular proteins while class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class II presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of T-helper cells. In other cells such as macrophages or NK cells, plays a role in differentiation/activation, cytokine expression and cell migration in a TCR/LCK-independent pathway. Participates in the development of T-helper cells in the thymus and triggers the differentiation of monocytes into functional mature macrophages.

Product Notes
The CD4 cd4 (Catalog #AAA205808) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The tag for this protein is His-tag. AAA Biotech's CD4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, SDS-PAGE. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CD4 cd4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: MGSSHHHHHH SSGLVPRGSH MGSHMKKVVL GKKGDTVELT CTASQKKSIQ FHWKNSNQIK ILGNQGSFLT KGPSKLNDRA DSRRSLWDQG NFPLIIKNLK IEDSDTYICE VEDQKEEVQL LVFGLTANSD THLLQGQSLT LTLESPPGSS PSVQCRSPRG KNIQGGKTLS VSQLELQDSG TWTCTVLQNQ KKVEFKIDIV VLAFQKASSI VYKKEGEQVE FSFPLAFTVE KLTGSGELWW QAERASSSKS WITFDLKNKE VSVKRVTQDP KLQMGKKLPL HLTLPQALPQ YAGSGNLTLA LEAKTGKLHQ EVNLVVMRAT QLQKNLTCEV WGPTSPKLML SLKLENKEAK VSKREKAVWV LNPEAGMWQC LLSDSGQVLL ESNIKVLPTW STPVQP. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CD4, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
