    basic FUNCTION
  • could promote dendritic cell maturation in the presence of LPS and IFNG (Vincent 2002)
  • antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self lipid and glycolipi antigens and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells
  • related to the peptide-presenting MHC class I family
  • could be a potential target for modulating NKT activity
  • CD1A, CD1B, CD1C, CD1D bind and present lipid-based antigens to T cells
    • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • forming heterodimer with beta-2-microglobulin
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • B2M associated
  • up-regulation of CD1C enhances NKT recognition of CD1D and down-regulation reduces CD1D recognition
  • can act as a sink for the inhibitory receptor LILRB2: when CD1C is up-regulated, LILRB2 is recruited to CD1C, thus reducing the inhibitory effect of LILRB2 on CD1D recognition
