| Research Abstract |
Previous studies on podocyte-specific aPKC KO mice that shows focal glomerular sclerosis have revealed the importance of the dynamics of Nephrin, a major slit membrane protein, for this disease. Here we evaluated the dunamics of Nephrin using epithelial cells, isolated glomerulus, and the cKO mice in vivo, and found the importance of the process of the membrane traffic in this disease.
