Abstract excerpt
Cluster determinant 4 (CD4) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of 58 kDa. It consists of an extracellular domain of 370 amino acids, a short transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic domain of 40 amino acids at the C-terminal end. We investigated the structure of the 62 C-terminal residues of CD4, comprising its transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. The five cysteine residues of this region have been replaced...
