hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1
AI503787, HAVCR, HKIM-1, Kidney Injury Molecule1, KIM-1, TIM-1, TIMD1
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]
