Abstract excerpt
Mice born without CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) develop renal failure and nephrotic syndrome about 4 weeks after birth and die around 6 weeks of age. Although CD2AP is widely expressed, the severity of the renal failure precludes a clear determination of the role of CD2AP in other tissues. Here we generated transgenic mice expressing CD2AP using a podocyte-specific promoter. Podocyte-specific expression of CD2AP...
