APOL1 Nephrotoxicity: What Does Ion Transport Have to Do With It?

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) protein is the human serum factor that protect human beings against Trypanosoma brucei brucei, the cause of trypanosomiasis. Subspecies of T b brucei that cause human sleeping sickness-T b gambiense and T b rhodesiense evolved molecular mechanisms that enabled them to evade killing by APOL1. Sequence changes (termed G1 and G2) in the APOL1 gene that restored its ability to kill T b...
