AI503787,KIM-1,TIM-1,Tim1,Timd1

Catalog Number P50321-M16H
Organism Species Mouse
Host Human Cells
Synonyms AI503787,KIM-1,TIM-1,Tim1,Timd1
Molecular Weight The recombinant mouse HAVCR1/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 438 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 49 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of HAVCR1/Fc monomer is approximately 80-85 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
predicted N Glu 20
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain of mouse HAVCR1 isoform b (NP_001160104.1) (Tyr 22-Thr 212) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus and the Fc region of human IgG1 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.
