Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R) has multiple biological functions other than functioning as a receptor for secretory PLA2s. Two nonsynonymous polymorphisms in the C-type lectin-like domains (CTLD) 1 of PLA2R gene have been associated with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. This study examined whether the same PLA2R polymorphisms may alter functions of PLA2R in cells expressing the variant PLA2R. In...
