Phosphorylation of key podocyte proteins and the association with proteinuric kidney disease

Abstract excerpt

Podocyte dysfunction contributes to proteinuric chronic kidney disease. A number of key proteins are essential for podocyte function, including nephrin, podocin, CD2-associated protein (CD2AP), synaptopodin, and α-actinin-4 (ACTN4). Although most of these proteins were first identified through genetic studies associated with human kidney disease, subsequent studies have identified phosphorylation of these...
