| Tissue Specificity | Abundantly expressed in kidney. Specifically expressed in podocytes of kidney glomeruli. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation probably regulates the interaction with NPHS2. Phosphorylated at Tyr-637 and Tyr-638 by FYN, leading to GRB2 binding. N-glycosylated. |
| Function | Required for proper function of the glomerular filtration barrier. It is involved in the maintenance of a stable podocyte architecture with interdigitating foot processes connected by specialized cell-cell junctions, known as the slit diaphragm. Is a signaling protein that needs the presence of TEC kinases to fully trans-activate the transcription factor AP-1. |
