Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Primary Accession | Q8TDQ0 |
|---|---|
| Calculated MW | This protein is fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus and has a calculated MW of 42 kDa after removal of signal peptide. In DTT-reduced SDS-PAGE, rhKIM3-Fc protein migrates as 45 kDa poly peptide due to glycosylation. |
| Gene ID | 84868 |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | HAVCR2 |
| Other Names | HAVCR2, TIM3, TIMD3, FLJ14428, KIM3 |
| Gene Source | Human |
| Source | HEK293 cells |
| Assay&Purity | SDS-PAGE; ≥97% |
| Assay2&Purity2 | N/A; |
| Recombinant | Yes |
| Results | Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized rh-Galectin-9 at 500 ng/ml can bind rhKIM3-Fc with an apparent KD<30 nM. |
| Target/Specificity | KIM3/HAVCR2 |
| Application Notes | Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in sterile PBS, pH 7.4 to a concentration of 50 µg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. For extended storage, it is recommended to store at -20°C. |
| Format | Lyophilized |
| Storage | -20°C; Lyophilized from 0.22 µm filtered solution in 50 mM Tris, 100 mM glycine, pH 7.0. Normally Mannitol or Trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. |

Background
Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 also known as HAVCR2, FLJ14428, KIM3, TIM3, TIMD3, is a member of the TIM family of immune regulating molecules with one Ig-like V-type domain and a Ser/Thr-rich mucin stalk. CD4-positive T helper lymphocytes can be divided into types 1 (Th1) and 2 (Th2) on the basis of their cytokine secretion patterns. Th1 cells and their associated cytokines are involved in cell-mediated immunity to intracellular pathogens and delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, whereas Th2 cells are involved in the control of extracellular helminthic infections and the promotion of atopic and allergic diseases. The 2 types of cells also cross-regulate the functions of the other. HAVCR2 is a Th1-specific cell surface protein that regulates macrophage activation and enhances the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice. HAVCR2 regulates macrophage activation. Inhibits T-helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1)-mediated auto- and alloimmune responses and promotes immunological tolerance. May be also involved in T-cell homing. Dysregulation of the HAVCR2-galectin-9 pathway could underlie chronic autoimmune disease states in human, such as multiple sclerosis.
