ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the immunoglobulin family of cell adhesion molecules that functions in the glomerular filtration barrier in the kidney. The gene is primarily expressed in renal tissues, and the protein is a type-1 transmembrane protein found at the slit diaphragm of glomerular podocytes. The slit diaphragm is thought to function as an ultrafilter to exclude albumin and other plasma macromolecules in the formation of urine. Mutations in this gene result in Finnish-type congenital nephrosis 1, characterized by severe proteinuria and loss of the slit diaphragm and foot processes.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
uniprot summary :
Function: Seems to play a role in the development or function of the kidney glomerular filtration barrier. Regulates glomerular vascular permeability. May anchor the podocyte slit diaphragm to the actin cytoskeleton. Plays a role in skeletal muscle formation through regulation of myoblast fusion . By similarity. Subunit structure: Interacts with CD2AP (via C-terminal domain). Interacts with MAGI1 (via PDZ 2 and 3 domains) forming a tripartite complex with IGSF5/JAM4. Interacts with DDN; the interaction is direct. Self-associates (via the Ig-like domains). Also interacts (via the Ig-like domains) with KIRREL/NEPH1 and KIRREL2; the interaction with KIRREL is dependent on KIRREL glycosylation. Forms a complex with ACTN4, CASK, IQGAP1, MAGI2, SPTAN1 and SPTBN1 . By similarity. Interacts with NPHS2. Ref.7. Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Potential. Note: Predominantly located at podocyte slit diaphragm between podocyte foot processes. Also associated with podocyte apical plasma membrane. Ref.5 Ref.6. Tissue specificity: Specifically expressed in podocytes of kidney glomeruli. Developmental stage: In 23-week-old embryo found in epithelial podocytes of the periphery of mature and developing glomeruli. Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated at Tyr-1193 by FYN, leading to the recruitment and activation of phospholipase C-gamma-1/PLCG1 . By similarity. Involvement in disease: Nephrotic syndrome 1 (NPHS1) [MIM:256300]: A form of nephrotic syndrome, a renal disease clinically characterized by severe proteinuria, resulting in complications such as hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and edema. Kidney biopsies show non-specific histologic changes such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial proliferation. Some affected individuals have an inherited steroid-resistant form and progress to end-stage renal failure.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.1 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily.Contains 1 fibronectin type-III domain.Contains 8 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
