Renal defects associated with improper polarization of the CRB and DLG polarity complexes in MALS-3 knockout mice
8 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Kidney development and physiology require polarization of epithelia that line renal tubules. Genetic studies show that polarization of invertebrate epithelia requires the crumbs, partition-defective-3, and discs large complexes. These evolutionarily conserved protein complexes occur in mammalian kidney; however, their role in renal development remains poorly defined. Here, we find that mice lacking the small PDZ...
