Rabbit Anti-HAVCR1/KIM1/TIM1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane receptor for both human hepatitis A virus (HHAV) and TIMD4. The encoded protein may be involved in the moderation of asthma and allergic diseases. The reference genome represents an allele that retains a MTTVP amino acid segment that confers protection against atopy in HHAV seropositive individuals. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
Function:
May play a role in T-helper cell development and the regulation of asthma and allergic diseases. Receptor for TIMD4 (By similarity). In case of human hepatitis A virus (HHAV) infection, functions as a cell-surface receptor for the virus. May play a role in kidney injury and repair.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein (Probable).
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed, with highest levels in kidney and testis. Expressed by activated CD4+ T-cells during the development of helper T-cells responses.
Similarity:
Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. TIM family. Contains 1 Ig-like SLVtype (immunoglobulin-like)
