Background
This gene encodes a glycoprotein that is restricted within the kidney to the basement membranes underlying the epithelium of Bowman's capsule and proximal and distal tubules. Autoantibodies against this protein are found in sera of patients with tubulointerstital nephritis, membranous nephropathy and anti-glomerular basement membrane nephritis. Ontogeny studies suggest that the expression of this antigen is developmentally regulated in a precise spatial and temporal pattern throughout nephrogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011],
Function
developmental stage:Initially observed in the Bowman capsule during early glomerular capillary loop formation in the kidney. In more developmentally mature glomeruli, following transition from early to mid-capillary loop stage, expression is higher in the proximal tubular basement membrane than in the distal basement membrane and Bowman capsule.,disease:Antibodies against TINAG are found in sera of patients with tubulointerstitial nephritis, a rare autoimmune disorder that causes acute and chronic renal injury.,function:Mediates adhesion of proximal tubule epithelial cells via integrins alpha3-beta1 and alphaV-beta3.,PTM:It has been suggested that the active SMB domain may be permitted considerable disulfide bond heterogeneity or variability, thus 2 alternate disulfide patterns based on 3D structures are described with 1 disulfide bond conserved in both.,similarity:Belongs to the peptida
