Target/Analytes with this Method/Kit
Target/Analyte Short Name Description
KIM-1 (human) KIM-1 Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) is a cell surface receptor that is expressed on kidney epithelial cells and by distinct T cell populations and hepatocytes. In acutely injured kidneys, KIM-1 is thought to confer a phagocytic phenotype on kidney epithelial cells that contributes to recovery by removing debris from cells that died during the injury. In patients with CKD, on the other hand, elevated KIM-1 expression has been shown to occur close to inflammatory cells and fibrotic tissue. However, whether KIM-1 actively promotes kidney fibrosis has not been resolved..
