| HGNC Family | Immunoglobulin superfamily domain containing, Fibronectin type III domain containing |
| Name | nephrosis 1, congenital, Finnish type (nephrin) |
| Description | This gene encodes a member of the immunoglobulin family of cell adhesion molecules that functions in the glomerular filtration barrier in the kidney. The gene is primarily expressed in renal tissues, and the protein is a type-1 transmembrane protein found at the slit diaphragm of glomerular podocytes. The slit diaphragm is thought to function as an ultrafilter to exclude albumin and other plasma macromolecules in the formation of urine. Mutations in this gene result in Finnish-type congenital nephrosis 1, characterized by severe proteinuria and loss of the slit diaphragm and foot processes.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009] |

{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nNPHS1 encodes nephrin, a transmembrane adhesion protein that is essential for establishing the specialized slit diaphragm between podocyte foot processes in the kidney.
