Description

NPHS1 adhesion molecule, nephrin

Gene Summary

Enables alpha-actinin binding activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and spectrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including myoblast fusion; skeletal muscle tissue development; and slit diaphragm assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including JNK cascade; cell adhesion; and positive regulation of actin filament polymerization. Located in basement membrane; plasma membrane; and slit diaphragm. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of end stage renal disease; kidney failure; membranous glomerulonephritis; and nephrotic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 1. Orthologous to human NPHS1 (NPHS1 adhesion molecule, nephrin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
