CD365 also known as T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 (Tim-1) is a type 1 surface glycoprotein that consists of extracellular N-terminal immunoglobulin V-like domain and a mucin domain, and a short cytoplasmic tail. The endogenous ligand for CD365 is Tim-4. In addition, CD365 is known to be a cellular receptor or co-receptor for a number of viruses including hepatitis A and C viruses, Ebola virus, Marburg virus, Dengue virus, Zika virus, West Nile virus, and Japanese encephalitis virus. The direct binding of the viruses by CD365 occurs via phosphatildyl-serine exposed on viral envelopes. Polymorphisms within human CD365 gene (HAVCR1) are associated with susceptibility to infection and the disease severity. CD365 has also been implicated in the T cell co-stimulation. CD365 is primarily expressed in epithelial cells. It is also highly expressed in A549, 769-P and Caco-2 and cell lines. CD365 exists also as a soluble protein generated by metalloproteinase mediated proteolytic cleavage of the surface protein.
