Potential signaling pathway and molecular mechanism of CD2AP associated with proteinuria in glomerular disease

Abstract

The albuminuria is the early evidence of glomerular filtration membrane damaged and increased permeability. Slit diaphragm is a most important part of selective filtration in the glomerulus. CD2 Associated Protein (CD2AP) is one of slit diaphragm molecules, which is associated with proteinuria. Continuous proteinuria increases the risk of cardiovascular event rate and mortality. Hence, we reviewed the potential signaling pathway and the molecular mechanism of CD2AP associated with proteinuria in glomerular disease. Journal of Nephrology and Hypertension
