We report the identification of rat and human cDNAs for a type 1 membrane protein that
contains a novel six-cysteine immunoglobulin-like domain and a mucin domain; it is named
kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1). Structurally, KIM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin
gene superfamily most reminiscent of mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule 1
(MAdCAM-1). Human KIM-1 exhibits homology to a monkey gene, hepatitis A virus cell
receptor 1 (HAVcr-1), which was identified recently as a receptor for the hepatitis A virus …
