Folliculin Deletion in the Mouse Kidney Results in Cystogenesis of the Loops of Henle via Aberrant TFEB Activation
9 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian kidney contains numerous nephrons connected to the collecting ducts, and each nephron consists of a glomerulus, a proximal tubule, the loop of Henle (LoH), and a distal tubule. Folliculin (FLCN) is a causative gene for Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, which is characterized by a variety of manifestations, including renal cysts and cancer. Although deletion of Flcn in the mouse collecting duct and distal...
