CD1a (CD1, CD1A Antigen, Cortical Thymocyte Antigen CD1A, Epidermal Dendritic Cell Marker CD1a, FCB 6, HTA1, T Cell Surface Antigen Leu 6, Cell Surface Antigen T6, T Cell Surface Antigen T6/Leu 6, T Cell Surface Glycoprotein CD1A, T6, Thymocyte Antigen CD1A)

CD1a is a ~49kDa single pass type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein containing a single Ig-like domain, expressed in association with beta 2 microglobulin. CD1a is expressed strongly by cortical thymocytes, and also by Langerhans cells and interdigitating cells. CD1a is involved in the presentation of lipids and glycolipids to NK cells.||Applications:|Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry.
