Slit diaphragm junctional complex and regulation of the cytoskeleton

Puneet Garg et al. Nephron Exp Nephrol. 2007.

Abstract

In recent years, identification of proteins found at the slit diaphragm has greatly improved our understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for forming and maintaining the glomerular filtration barrier. This review examines the function of proteins identified at the podocyte intercellular junction in coordinating podocyte intercellular junction dynamics or cytoskeletal dynamics.
