Metalloprotease meprin beta in rat kidney: glomerular localization and differential expression in glomerulonephritis.

Metalloprotease meprin beta in rat kidney: glomerular localization and differential expression in glomerulonephritis.

Meprin (EC 3.4.24.18) is an oligomeric metalloendopeptidase found in microvillar membranes of kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells. Here, we present the first report on the expression of meprin beta in rat glomerular epithelial cells and suggest a potential involvement in experimental glomerular...
