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
Function: Accessory protein for MHC class-II antigen/T-cell receptor interaction. May regulate T-cell activation. Induces the aggregation of lipid rafts.
Subunit structure: Associates with LCK. Binds to HIV-1 gp120 and to P4HB/PDI and upon HIV-1 binding to the cell membrane, is part of P4HB/PDI-CD4-CXCR4-gp120 complex. Interacts with HIV-1 Envelope polyprotein gp160 and protein Vpu. Interacts with Human Herpes virus 7 capsid proteins. Interacts with PTK2/FAK1; this interaction requires the presence of HIV-1 gp120. Ref.15 Ref.18 Ref.19 Ref.21 Ref.27
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note: Localizes to lipid rafts. Removed from plasma membrane by HIV-1 Nef protein that increases clathrin-dependent endocytosis of this antigen to target it to lysosomal degradation. Cell surface expression is also down-modulated by HIV-1 Envelope polyprotein gp160 that interacts with, and sequesters CD4 in the endoplasmic reticulum. Ref.20
Post-translational modification: Palmitoylation and association with LCK contribute to the enrichment of CD4 in lipid rafts. Ref.16
Polymorphism: The OKT monoclonal antibodies are widely used for the analysis of human peripheral blood T-lymphocytes. OKT4 reacts with T-helper/inducer lymphocytes. The OKT4 epitope of the CD4 cell-surface protein is polymorphic in white, black, and Japanese populations. The variable phenotypic expression is due a CD4 polymorphism. OKT4 positive individuals carry Arg-265 and OKT4 negative individuals carry Trp-265 [
MIM:613949].
Miscellaneous: Primary receptor for HIV-1.
Sequence similarities: Contains 3 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.

Product Notes
The CD4 - HLADR cd4 (Catalog #AAA396147) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CD4 FITC - HLADR PE reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CD4 - HLADR can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CD4 - HLADR 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. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CD4 - HLADR, Antibody" 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
