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 [PubMed 12424224]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] Expression Ubiquitous expression in placenta (RPKM 3.8), gall bladder (RPKM 3.0) and 22 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
