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.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nTIM 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nTIM 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nTIM 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843545551017,"sku":"ab213477","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab213477","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
