Neph-Nephrin Proteins Bind the Par3-Par6-Atypical Protein Kinase C (aPKC) Complex to Regulate Podocyte Cell Polarity
19 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
The kidney filter represents a unique assembly of podocyte epithelial cells that tightly enwrap the glomerular capillaries with their foot processes and the interposed slit diaphragm. So far, very little is known about the guidance cues and polarity signals required to regulate proper development and maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier. We now identify Par3, Par6, and atypical protein kinase C (aPKC)...
