Characterization of a novel disease-associated mutation within NPHS1 and its effects on nephrin phosphorylation and signaling.
Mutations in the transmembrane protein nephrin (encoded by NPHS1) underlie nearly half of all cases of congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS), which is caused by aberrations in the blood filtering function of glomerular podocytes. Nephrin directly contributes to the structure of the filtration barrier,...
