Gene: HAVCR1
Alternate names for this Gene: CD365|HAVCR|HAVCR-1|KIM-1|KIM1|TIM|TIM-1|TIM1|TIMD-1|TIMD1
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane receptor for both human hepatitis A virus (HHAV) and TIMD4. The encoded protein may be involved in the moderation of asthma and allergic diseases. The reference genome represents an allele that retains a MTTVP amino acid segment that confers protection against atopy in HHAV seropositive individuals. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 4, 12 and 19.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 5
Location in Chromosome : 5q33.3
Description of this Gene: hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
