CD4 is an immunoglobulin superfamily protein and an accessory protein for MHC class-II antigen/ T-cell receptor interaction. It may regulate T-cell activation. It plays a more general role in mediating cell recognition events than merely those of cellular immune response. The T4 molecule serves as a receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus. A Type I membrane protein, it is expressed on T lymphocytes, B-cells, macrophages, and granulocytes. It is also expressed in a developmentally regulated manner in specific regions of the brain.
