CD2AP is expressed with nephrin in developing podocytes and is found widely in mature kidney and elsewhere.

|
CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) is an adapter molecule that can bind to the cytoplasmic domain of nephrin, a component of the glomerular slit diaphragm.

|
Mice lacking CD2AP exhibit a congenital nephrotic syndrome characterized by extensive foot process effacement, suggesting that CD2AP-nephrin interactions are critical to maintaining slit diaphragm function.

|
We have examined the patterns of expression of both CD2AP and nephrin in developing mouse and human kidney.

|
Kidneys from Cd2ap -/- mice initially exhibited normal nephrin localization, but as the mice aged and foot processes became effaced, nephrin disappeared.

|
In laminin-beta(2) mutant mice exhibiting nephrotic syndrome, CD2AP in glomeruli was aberrantly localized in a primarily punctate pattern.

In particular, two proteins, CD2-associated protein and nephrin, have been identified as critical podocyte proteins that are both required for normal glomerular filtration.

However, more recent studies on nephrin, a key component of the slit diaphragm, as well as the podocyte and slit diaphragm-associated intracellular proteins, CD2-associated protein, podocin and alpha-actinin-4, have emphasized the role of the slit diaphragm as a central size-selective filtration barrier.

The identification of nephrin, a component of the slit diaphragm, and the intracellular slit diaphragm associated proteins CD2AP and podocin has demonstrated the existence of proteins that directly contribute to a functional kidney filter.
