High impact information on KIRREL2

 

Biological context of KIRREL2

 

Anatomical context of KIRREL2

  • Additionally, we studied whether densin and filtrin, another molecule shared between the kidney podocytes and pancreatic islet cells, can act as autoantigens and whether autoantibodies against these can be detected in patients with type 1 diabetes [3].
 

Other interactions of KIRREL2

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of KIRREL2

  • The expression of NLG1 mRNA in kidney glomeruli was verified with RT-PCR [2].
