  • shuttles into the nucleus after podocyte injury, providing a mechanism whereby changes in slit diaphragm structure modulate gene expression
  • basic FUNCTION
  • transcriptional corepressor for WT1, that shuttles into the nucleus after podocyte injury, translating changes in slit diaphragm structure into altered gene expression and a less differentiated phenotype
  • involved in kidney and neural crest development
  • able to inhibit canonical Wnt signalling in mammalian cells
  • adaptor protein that exhibit the potential to communicate cell adhesive events with nuclear responses to remodel epithelia
  • having role as negative regulatorof the Hippo signaling pathway
  • required for microRNA-mediated gene silencing
  • coordinates cell adhesion changes and transcriptional responses to regulate podocyte phenotypic plasticity
  • ASXL2 and WTIP are involved in regulation of retinoic acid signaling during heart development

    small molecule
    protein
  • intracellular interaction partner of ROR2
  • directly interacted with Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) 12 (ARHGEF12), a RhoA-specific GEF enriched in the glomerulus
  • dendrin binds to WTIP and GADD45A (WTIP and GADD45A mediate gene transcription in the nucleus, suggesting that dendrin may have similar functions in podocytes
  • is a ASXL2-binding partner
  • NCK1 integrates NPHS1 with the Hippo kinase cascade through association with the adaptor protein WTIP
  • WTIP interacts with BRCA2 and might be responsible for BRCA2 centrosome localization in cervical cancer cell
  • cell & other
