Defective Intracellular Trafficking of Uromodulin Mutant Isoforms
30 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Medullary cystic kidney disease/familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy (MCKD/FJHN) are autosomal dominant renal disorders characterized by tubulo-interstitial fibrosis, hyperuricemia and medullary cysts. They are caused by mutations in the gene encoding uromodulin, the most abundant protein in urine. Uromodulin (or Tamm-Horsfall protein) is a glycoprotein that is exclusively expressed by epithelial tubular...
