Background
TIM-1 is a key cell surface protein that binds TIM-4, leading to T cell proliferation and T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokine production. TIM-1 has also been shown to bind and activate macrophages. Two splice variants for human TIM-1 exist, TIM-1a is predominantly expressed in the liver, whilst TIM-1b is expressed in the kidney. Expression of TIM-1 in the kidney is thought to be upregulated in damaged tissue, and is thought to assist healing. TIM-1 polymorphisms are associated with asthma.Synonyms: HAVCR-1, Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1, T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 1, T cell membrane protein 1, TIM-1, TIM1, TIMD-1
