Developmental Localization of Nephrin in Zebrafish and Medaka Pronephric Glomerulus
15 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Slit diaphragm (SD) is a highly specialized intercellular junction between podocyte foot processes and plays a crucial role in the formation of the filtration barrier. In this study, we examined the developmental localization of Nephrin, an essential component of SD, in the pronephric glomerulus of zebrafish and medaka. In the mature glomerulus of both fish, Nephrin is localized along the glomerular basement...
