NPNT codes for a nephronectin that is an extracellular matrix protein associated with integrin alpha 8 beta1 in embryonic renal cells. Nephronectin expression has been implicated in diabetic nephropathy and glomerulosclerosis. Rabbit Anti-NPNT antibody recognizes rabbit, human, mouse, rat, chicken, bovine, and canine NPNT.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human NPNT
Application
Rabbit Anti-NPNT antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 1μg/ml
Biochem/physiol Actions
NPNT is a functional ligand of integrin alpha-8/beta-1 in kidney development. It regulates with integrin alpha-8/beta-1 the expression of GDNF which is essential for kidney development. It may also play a role in the development and function of various tissues, regulating cell adhesion, spreading and survival through the binding of several integrins.

In a previous proteomic study, we detected increased expression of nephronectin in the glomeruli from patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). The aim of the present study was to clarify the usefulness of determining glomerular expression of nephronectin in kidney disease.

To date, little proteomic information has been available from the glomeruli of diabetic patients, possibly due to the clinical limitations of renal biopsy in diabetic patients and insufficient quantities of such specimens for proteome analysis. The purpose of the present

The epithelial-mesenchymal interactions required for kidney organogenesis are disrupted in mice lacking the integrin alpha8beta1. None of this integrin's known ligands, however, appears to account for this phenotype. To identify a more relevant ligand, a soluble integrin alpha8beta1 heterodimer fused
