NEPH1 defines a novel family of podocin‐interacting proteins
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Mutations of NPHS1 or NPHS2, the genes encoding for the glomerular podocyte proteins nephrin and podocin, cause steroid-resistant proteinuria. In addition, mice lacking NEPH1 develop a nephrotic syndrome that resembles NPHS mutations, suggesting that all three proteins are essential for the integrity of glomerular podocytes. Podocin interacts with the C-terminal domain of nephrin and facilitates nephrin-dependent...
