Product Specs

Introduction
The hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (HAVCR1) is a membrane receptor for both the human hepatitis A virus (HHAV) and TIMD4. It is a type I transmembrane structural glycoprotein that is located in the renal proximal tubule epithelial cells. This protein may be involved in the control of asthma and allergic diseases. The reference genome represents an allele which retains a MTTVP amino acid segment that presents defense against atopy in HHAV seropositive individuals.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

HAVCR1 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that includes:

  • An N-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain
  • A mucin domain with distinct length
  • A single transmembrane domain
  • A short cytoplasmic tail

The protein is involved in various biological processes, including viral entry into host cells, immune response regulation, and modulation of allergic responses and asthma . It is also known as Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) due to its significant upregulation in injured kidneys .

Role in Hepatitis A Virus Infection

HAVCR1 serves as a cellular receptor for HAV, facilitating the virus’s entry into host cells . The interaction between HAV and HAVCR1 involves specific physiological requirements, such as temperature, calcium, and pH levels . Soluble forms of HAVCR1 can bind to and neutralize HAV particles, mimicking the cell entry process of the virus .

Recombinant HAVCR1

Recombinant forms of HAVCR1 are produced using various expression systems, such as HEK293 cells, to study its interaction with HAV and its role in viral pathogenesis . These recombinant proteins are valuable tools for research, enabling scientists to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying HAV infection and to develop potential therapeutic interventions.

Clinical Significance

Beyond its role in HAV infection, HAVCR1 is implicated in several other conditions:

  • Asthma and Allergic Diseases: HAVCR1 is involved in the regulation of immune responses, particularly in allergic reactions and asthma .
  • Kidney Injury: As KIM-1, HAVCR1 is highly upregulated in response to kidney injury, making it a potential biomarker for renal damage .
  • Transplant Tolerance: HAVCR1 plays a role in transplant tolerance, influencing the immune response to transplanted tissues .
