Function
Antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self lipid and glycolipid antigens and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells.
Cellular localization
- Cell membrane
- Single-pass type I membrane protein
- Membrane raft
- Single-pass type I membrane protein
- Endosome membrane
- Single-pass type I membrane protein
- Subject to intracellular trafficking between the cell membrane and endosomes. Localizes to cell surface lipid rafts.
