Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVCR2), also known as T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (TIM-3), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HAVCR2 (TIM-3)gene. HAVCR2 was first described in 2002 as a cell surface molecule expressed on IFNγ producing CD4+ Th1 and CD8+ Tc1 cells.[5][6] Later, the expression was detected in Th17 cells,[7] regulatory T-cells,[8] and innate immune cells (dendritic cells, NK cells, monocytes).[9] HAVCR2 receptor is a regulator of the immune response.
