Nephrin Rabbit mAb

Predicted to enable cell adhesion molecule binding activity, cytoskeletal protein binding activity, and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in myoblast fusion, skeletal muscle tissue development, and slit diaphragm assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including JNK cascade, cell adhesion, and positive regulation of actin filament polymerization. Located in cell projection, focal adhesion, and plasma membrane. Is active in cell periphery. Is expressed in central nervous system, metanephros, and skeletal muscle. Used to study nephrotic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 1. Orthologous to human NPHS1 (NPHS1 adhesion molecule, nephrin). Synonyma: nephrin, NephrinB
