Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1, KIM1) is also called hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1, it is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is 339 amino acid in length where the N-terminal ectodomain contains the mucin and immunoglobulin-like domains. It normally exists in very low levels in normal kidneys, however when upregulated during injury, it is detectable in urine in a number of different human diseases.
