Description
Product Characteristics: HAVCR1, TIM1, TIMD1, HAVCR, Hepatitis A Virus Cellular Receptor 1, T Cell Immunoglobulin And Mucin Domain-Containing Protein 1, T-cell immunoglobulin mucin receptor 1
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]
