Description | Specificity: Specific for endogenous levels of the ~105 kDa alpha-actinin 4 protein. alpha-actinin-4 is a member of the actinin protein family comprised of an actin-binding domain in the N-terminus, 4 spectrin-like repeats in the central region, and 2 EF-hand motifs in the C-terminus (Honda et al, 1998). alpha-actinin-4 and CLP36 form a complex in normal kidney podocytes.CLP36 is dependent on alpha-actinin-4 for maintenance of its level in podocytes, whereas alpha-actinin-4 is independent of CLP36. alpha-actinin-4 is widely expressed in mammalian tissues and organs, while having a high occurrence of genetic mutations in kidney podocytes (Kos et al, 2003). FSGS, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, is a rare genetic disease that attacks the k |
