Elucidation of megalin/LRP2-dependent endocytic transport processes in the larval zebrafish pronephros
26 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Megalin/LRP2 is an endocytic receptor in the proximal tubules of the mammalian kidney that plays a central role in the clearance of metabolites from the glomerular filtrate. To establish a genetic model system for elucidation of molecular components of this retrieval pathway, we characterized orthologous transport processes in the zebrafish. We show that expression of megalin/LRP2 and its co-receptor cubilin is...
