UniProt functional annotation for Q96D42

UniProt code: Q96D42.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: 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. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17471468}.
 
Function: (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Hepatitis A virus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29437974, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9658108}.
 
Function: (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Ebolavirus and Marburg virus by binding exposed phosphatidyl-serine at the surface of virion membrane (PubMed:21536871). Serves as a dual receptor for Ebolavirus by also interacting with envelope glycoprotein GP (PubMed:26487564). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21536871, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26487564}.
 
Function: (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Dengue virus by binding exposed phosphatidyl-serine at the surface of virion membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23084921}.
 
Function: (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Zika virus by binding to envelope protein E. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32641828}.
 
Subunit: (Microbial infection) Interacts with hepatitis A virus capsid proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29437974, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9658108}.
Subunit: (Microbial infection) Interacts with Ebolavirus envelope glycoprotein GP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26487564}.
Subunit: (Microbial infection) Interacts with Zika virus envelope protein E. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26487564}.
Subcellular location: Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9658108}.
Induction: Up-regulated in the kidney in renal diseases (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17471468}.
Polymorphism: The region containing tandem repeats is polymorphic and the sequence shown here corresponds to the most common allele (PubMed:14534576). An association between hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection and atopic diseases has been observed in individuals with that allele (PubMed:14534576). Allelic variation does not affect HAV- infection rates in Caucasians, Asians and African Americans (PubMed:14534576). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14534576}.
Miscellaneous: The extracellular part of the protein can be cleaved and detected in urine and is in correlation with the expression in the kidney.
Similarity: Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. TIM family. {ECO:0000305}.
