KIRREL
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Kin of IRRE-like protein 1 , also known as NEPH1 , is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIRREL gene .[ 5] [ 6]
Function
NEPH1 is a member of the NEPH protein family, which includes NEPH2 (KIRREL3 , MIM 607761 ) and NEPH3 (KIRREL2 , MIM 607762 ). The cytoplasmic domains of these proteins interact with the C terminus of podocin (NPHS2; MIM 604766). NEPH1 is expressed in filtration slits of kidney podocytes , cells involved in ensuring size- and charge-selective ultrafiltration of blood (Sellin et al., 2003). [supplied by OMIM][ 6]
Interactions
KIRREL has been shown to interact with Nephrin [ 7] [ 8] Tight junction protein 1 .[ 7] [ 9]
