Ventricular enlargement associated with the panneural ablation of the podocalyxin gene.

Abstract excerpt

Podocalyxin (Podxl) is a type I membrane mucin-protein of the CD34 family abundantly expressed in kidney epithelial cells (podocytes) where it plays a crucial functional role. Podxl is also expressed in tissues other than kidney, like in brain, but its function is ignored. To investigate the functional role of podocalyxin (Podxl) in brain we produced the specific brain-ablation of the Podxl gen in mice by...
