Catalog Number P11051-H07H
Organism Species Human
Host Human Cells
Synonyms CD365,HAVCR,HAVCR-1,KIM-1,KIM1,TIM,TIM-1,TIM1,TIMD-1,TIMD1
Molecular Weight The secreted recombinant human KIM1 comprises 289 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 31.3 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein is approximately 80-100 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to high glycosylation.
predicted N His
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 93 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the mature form of human KIM1 extracellular domain (AAC39862.1) (Ser 21-Gly 290) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus.

Background Human HAV cellular receptor 1 (HAVCR1), also known as Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and T cell immunoglobulinmucin 1 (TIM-1), is a type â…  integral membrane glycoprotein. KIM-1 protein is widely expressed with highest levels in kidney and testis. It has been shown to play a major role as a human susceptibility gene for asthma, allergy and autoimmunity. IgA1lambda is a specific ligand of KIM-1 protein and that their association has a synergistic effect in virus-receptor interactions. KIM-1 involves in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury. It had been confirmed that KIM-1 is a human urinary renal dysfunction biomarker. Moreover, KIM-1 protein is a novel regulatory molecule of flow-induced calcium signaling.
