General Information of HIF (ID: HIFM0110)
HIF Name
T cell immunoglobulin 3
HIF Synonym(s)
Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2, HAVCR2, TIM-3
HIF Classification
Checkpoint molecule (CM)
Description T cell immunoglobulin3 (TIM3; also known as Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2, HAVCR2), is identified as crucial regulators of the immune response, which motivated the emergence of immune checkpointtargeting therapeutic strategie. [1]

Microbe Species (MIC) Regulated by This HIF
         Escherichia coli (enterobacteria) MIC00516
             Description TIM-3 expressed in neutrophils is directly involved in reducing the abundance of Escherichia coli. [2]
         Helicobacter pylori (epsilon-proteobacteria) MIC00669
             Description Helicobacter pylori infection significantly elevated Tim-3 mRNA expression levels in RAW264.7 macrophages(p<0.01). [3]
         Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gamma-proteobacteria) MIC01054
             Description The TIM-3 expression on neutrophils has enzymatic activity directly involved in a killing mechanism specific for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [2]
