Abstract excerpt
Nephronophthisis is a hereditary nephropathy characterized by interstitial fibrosis and cyst formation. It is caused by mutations in NPHP genes encoding the ciliary proteins, nephrocystins. In this paper, we investigate the function of nephrocystin-4, the product of the nphp4 gene, in vivo by morpholino-mediated knockdown in zebrafish and in vitro in mammalian kidney cells. Depletion of nephrocystin-4 results in...
