Gene:
kin of IRRE like 3 (Drosophila)
Gene ID:
205161
Symbol:
KIRREL3
Species:
1000
Description:
NEPH2 is a member of the nephrin-like protein family, which includes NEPH1 (KIRREL; MIM 607428) and NEPH3 (MIM 607762). The cytoplasmic domains of these proteins interact with the C terminus of podocin (NPHS2; MIM 604766), and the genes are expressed in kidney podocytes, cells involved in ensuring size- and charge-selective ultrafiltration (Sellin et al., 2003).[supplied by OMIM]
