27 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Apolipoprotein L1, APOL1, is a trypanosome lytic factor present in human and certain other primates. APOL1 gene variants, present in individuals of recent sub-Saharan African descent, increase risk for glomerular disease and associate with the disease progression, but the molecular mechanisms have not been defined. OBJECTIVES: We focus on the mechanism how APOL1 variant proteins enhance podocyte...
