HAVCR1 (TIM-1/KIM-1) is a type I transmembrane mucin-like glycoprotein that functions as a phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) receptor, coupling apoptotic cell recognition and clearance to immune regulation and serving as a broad-spectrum entry receptor for enveloped viruses via apoptotic mimicry. Its IgV domain contains a PS/PE-binding cavity essential for phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, uptake of diverse enveloped viruses (filoviruses, flaviviruses, arenaviruses, alphaviruses), and regulatory B cell IL-10 production; it also directly binds Ebola virus glycoprotein at a site distinct from the PS pocket and cooperates with NPC1 in endosomes to enable membrane fusion during viral and exosomal cargo delivery (PMID:18082433, PMID:23698310, PMID:26575624, PMID:26487564, PMID:25855742, PMID:32541946). On T cells, HAVCR1 associates with the CD3/TCR complex, amplifies Zap70/ITK/PI3K signaling and NF-AT-dependent transcription upon costimulation, functions as a P-selectin ligand via its mucin domain to mediate Th1/Th17 trafficking to inflamed tissues, and in B cells drives STAT3-dependent regulatory function and antibody production (PMID:17371991, PMID:19155484, PMID:24703780, PMID:25645598, PMID:35660734). Its cytoplasmic tail undergoes Fyn kinase-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation and ubiquitination at specific lysine residues, which drives clathrin/ESCRT (STAM-1)-dependent endocytosis and recruits PI3K/p85, coupling receptor internalization to autophagy-related phagosome maturation and pro-tolerogenic antigen presentation (PMID:21513984, PMID:29742433, PMID:26282792).
