Anti-HAVCR1

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. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. Protein function: May play a role in T-helper cell development and the regulation of asthma and allergic diseases. Receptor for TIMD4. May play a role in kidney injury and repair. [The UniProt Consortium]
