OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the CD1 family of transmembrane glycoproteins, which are structurally related to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins and form heterodimers with beta-2-microglobulin. The CD1 proteins mediate the presentation of primarily lipid and glycolipid antigens of self or microbial origin to T cells. The human genome contains five CD1 family genes organized in a cluster on chromosome 1. The CD1 family members are thought to differ in their cellular localization and specificity for particular lipid ligands. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to late endosomes and lysosomes via a tyrosine-based motif in the cytoplasmic tail, and requires vesicular acidification to bind lipid antigens.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CD1B can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CD1B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CD1B could matter depends on whether native CD1B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CD1B is annotated at the cell surface, where native CD1B is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CD1B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
