Abstract excerpt
Renal ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) is upregulated in a subset of human glomerulopathies, including focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), where it may serve to promote ubiquitin pools for degradation of cytotoxic proteins. In the present study, we tested whether UCHL1 is expressed in podocytes of a mouse model of ACTN4-associated FSGS. Podocyte UCHL1 protein was detected in glomeruli of...
