Tensin 2-deficient nephropathy: mechanosensitive nephropathy, genetic susceptibility.

Abstract excerpt

Tensin 2 (TNS2), a focal adhesion protein, is considered to anchor focal adhesion proteins to β integrin as an integrin adaptor protein and/or serve as a scaffold to facilitate the interactions of these proteins. In the kidney, TNS2 localizes to the basolateral surface of glomerular epithelial cells, i.e., podocytes. Loss of TNS2 leads to the development of glomerular basement membrane lesions and abnormal...
