Abstract excerpt
Nephrocystin and nephrocystin-4 are newly identified proteins involved in familial juvenile nephronophthisis, an autosomal recessive nephropathy characterized by cyst formation and renal fibrosis. Nephrocystin is an adaptor protein that is able to associate with signaling molecules involved in cell adhesion and actin cytoskeleton organization, such as p130Cas, Pyk2, tensin and filamins. Nephrocystin was recently...
