About Nphs1

Summary

Predicted to enable cell adhesion molecule binding activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in myoblast fusion; regulation of excretion; and skeletal muscle tissue development. Acts upstream of or within JNK cascade; cell adhesion; and positive regulation of actin filament polymerization. Located in cell projection; focal adhesion; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and metanephros. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
