KIBRA Modulates Directional Migration of Podocytes
2 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Asymmetric delivery and distribution of macromolecules are essential for cell polarity and for cellular functions such as differentiation, division, and signaling. Injury of podocytes, which are polarized epithelial cells, changes the dynamics of the actin meshwork, resulting in foot process retraction and proteinuria. Although the spatiotemporal control of specific protein-protein interactions is crucial for the...
