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. .
Background
KIM1 (TIM-1), also known as Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1, is a protein that in Rats is encoded by the HAVCR1 gene. Infection of canine osteogenic sarcoma cells expressing HAVCR1 with HAV led to conclude that the protein is indeed a receptor for the virus. Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated intealization of HAV by dog cells expressing HAVCR1. Using a monoclonal antibody to Rat Tim1, Tim1 was expressed after activation of naive T cells and on T cells differentiated in Th2-polarizing conditions. By homology of synteny with the Rat Tim1 gene and database analysis, the HAVCR1 gene was mapped to 5q33.2.
