Nephrocystin-conserved Domains Involved in Targeting to Epithelial Cell-Cell Junctions, Interaction with Filamins, and Establishing Cell Polarity
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
Nephrocystin is the protein product of the gene mutated in juvenile nephronophthisis, an autosomal recessive cystic kidney disease afflicting children and young adults. Because the normal cellular function of nephrocystin is largely unknown, the molecular defects underlying disease pathogenesis remain obscure. Analysis of nephrocystin amino acid sequences from human and other species revealed three distinct...
