Abstract excerpt
Gain-of-function mutations in the transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel subfamily C member 6 (TRPC6) gene and mutations in the NPHS2 gene encoding podocin result in nephrotic syndromes. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional significance of biochemical interactions between these proteins. We observed that gating of TRPC6 channels in podocytes is markedly mechanosensitive and can be...
