Evolution of Renal-Disease Factor APOL1 Results in Cis and Trans Orientations at the Endoplasmic Reticulum That Both Show Cytotoxic Effects
28 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
The recent and exclusively in humans and a few other higher primates expressed APOL1 (apolipoprotein L1) gene is linked to African human trypanosomiasis (also known as African sleeping sickness) as well as to different forms of kidney diseases.
