Product details:
Mouse TIM 1 ELISA Kit (KIM-1) ab213477 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Mouse TIM 1 (KIM-1)in cell culture supernatant, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum, tissue extracts, urine. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 1.6 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Mouse TIM 1 (KIM-1)SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

KIM-1, also known as Kidney Injury Molecule 1 and Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 homolog (HAVcr-1), or T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 (TIM-1) is a 283 amino acid protein that contains an N-terminal immunoglobulin-like domain and is encoded by the HAVCR1 gene. KIM-1 is a single-pass type 1 membrane protein has been identified as a receptor for hepatitis A virus. The TIM gene family participates in host immune response. Urinary KIM-1 levels are elevated in nephropathy and is thought to be a biomarker for renal damage.

TIM 1 also known as T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 is a cell surface protein with a molecular mass of approximately 70 to 80 kDa. It is expressed predominantly in activated T cells and some epithelial cells. TIM 1 plays an important role in immune regulation and can be found at the surface of cells in various tissues including the liver and kidney. This protein can interact with other components which can influence immune response in the host.
Biological function summary
The TIM 1 protein functions as a receptor involved in T cell activity modulation and innate immune response regulation. It is known to bind phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells which fosters communication between dying cells and phagocytes. TIM 1 does not typically exist as part of a larger complex but its interactions with other molecules is important for its role in the immune system. The protein's activity influences cytokine production and this can affect inflammation processes.
Pathways
TIM 1 is involved in key immune response pathways like the signaling pathways of T cells and the broader adaptive immune response. This protein has been linked with the enhancement of Th2 cytokine production impacting allergic response signaling. It interacts with related proteins like TIM 3 and TIM 4 which together contribute to the fine-tuning of immune responses. Understanding TIM 1 within these pathways helps in grasping its regulatory potential in T-cell mediated immunity.
TIM 1 is implicated in conditions such as asthma and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In asthma improperly regulated Th2 immune responses involve TIM 1 which can exacerbate allergic inflammations. This protein also plays a role in the pathogenesis of SLE a systemic autoimmune disease where TIM 1's regulation of immune tolerance and inflammation is critical. TIM 1's involvement with other proteins like IL-4 and IL-13 in these disorders further highlights its significance in immune dysregulation processes.
