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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10981968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14716313}.
Subcellular Location Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endosome membrane. Lysosome membrane. Note=Subject to intracellular trafficking between the cell membrane, endosomes and lysosomes. Localizes to cell surface lipid rafts.
Tissue Specificity Expressed on cortical thymocytes, on certain T-cell leukemias, and in various other tissues.
