DESCRIPTION

Also known as NPHN_MOUSE, Nphs1, Nphn. Seems to play a role in the development or function of the kidney glomerular filtration barrier. Regulates glomerular vascular permeability. May anchor the podocyte slit diaphragm to the actin cytoskeleton. Plays a role in skeletal muscle formation through regulation of myoblast fusion. Interacts with NPHS2 and with CD2AP (via C-terminal domain). Interacts with MAGI1 (via PDZ 2 and 3 domains) forming a tripartite complex with IGSF5/JAM4. Forms a complex with ACTN4, CASK, IQGAP1, MAGI2, SPTAN1 and SPTBN1 (By similarity). Interacts with DDN; the interaction is direct. Self-associates (via the Ig-like domains). Also interacts (via the Ig-like domains) with KIRREL1 and KIRREL2; the interaction with KIRREL1 is dependent on KIRREL1 glycosylation. Interacts with KIRREL3 (PubMed:15843475, PubMed:18752272).
