Molecular Mass
Recombinant Human KIM1 (aa 1-135) comprises 143 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 15.8 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of KIM1 (aa 1-135) is approximately 22-26 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
Background
May play a role in T-helper cell development and the regulation of asthma and allergic diseases. Receptor for TIMD4 (By similarity). May play a role in kidney injury and repair. Acts as a receptor for hepatitis A virus (PubMed:9658108). Acts as a receptor for ebolavirus and marburg virus by binding exposed phosphatidyl-serine at the surface of virion membrane (PubMed:21536871). Acts as a receptor for Dengue virus by binding exposed phosphatidyl-serine at the surface of virion membrane (PubMed:23084921).
