Angiopoietin-Like 3 Induces Podocyte F-Actin Rearrangement through Integrin αVβ3/FAK/PI3K Pathway-Mediated Rac1 Activation

Glomerular podocytes are highly differentiated cells whose foot processes, which are mainly maintained by the architecture of actin filaments, have a unique morphology. A rearrangement of F-actin in podocytes causes changes in their motility that involve foot process effacement and proteinuria in gl...
