Liver kidney microsome type 1 (anti-LKM-1) antibodies are autoantibodies, proteins produced by the body's immune system that recognize and target its own enzyme called cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), a protein found primarily in liver cells. The development of anti-LKM-1 antibodies is strongly associated with type 2 autoimmune hepatitis.
