Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of monkey hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1/KIM1 (HAVCR1) concentrations in serum, urine.
Target Information: 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, Mar 2010]
