Background
HAVCR1, a 359 A.A Class 1 integral membrane glycoprotein, is used by Hepatitis A virus to infect humans. It consists of a conserved N-terminal Cys-rich region, IgV (Immunoglobulin Variable region like) domain and a TSP-rich mucin domain in the extracellular region followed by a highly conserved tyrosine kinase phosphorylation motif in the cytoplasmic region. HAVCR1 is expressed on terminally differentiated CD4+ Th2 cells and regulates cytokine production. It plays an important role in the regulation of immune responses in the development of asthma and allergic responses. Its expression is critically upregulated in dedifferentiated kidney cells, thus indicating a possible role in regeneration of proximal tubule epithelium in Kidneys. HAVCR1 has shown to be upregulated in renal carcinomas, suggesting its role in tumor progression and metastasis.
