Product overview
The human KIM1 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is a complete kit for the quantitative measurement of KIM1 protein in urine.
The ELISA kit is ultra sensitive, reliably measuring as little as 1.2 pg/ml of Kim1. This enables the use of reduced input sample and results in reduced matrix interference. It is high throughput with results in
Kim1 is an early biomarker for kidney injury or disease. It is the most highly upregulated protein in the proximal tubule of the injured kidney. It exists in very low levels in normal kidneys but when upregulated during injury, it is detectable in urine in a wide variety of human diseases. KIM-1 is a potential biomarker for renal injury, which would suggest it has great importance in various kidney diseases and disorders such as chronic kidney disease, as well as acute tubular necrosis and acute kidney failure.

Function
May play a role in T-helper cell development and the regulation of asthma and allergic diseases. Receptor for TIMD4 (By similarity). In case of human hepatitis A virus (HHAV) infection, functions as a cell-surface receptor for the virus. May play a role in kidney injury and repair. -
Tissue specificity
Widely expressed, with highest levels in kidney and testis. Expressed by activated CD4+ T-cells during the development of helper T-cells responses. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. TIM family.
Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. -
