Popis: Inherited and acquired disorders that affect proximal tubule endocytosis and lysosomal processing manifest with improper loss of solutes and proteins. The zebrafish pronephros is conserved with humans and is used to model numerous renal conditions, but has few quantitative measures for proximal tubule function. Here, Chen et al. developed a high-throughput assay to quantify proteinuria and lysosomal processing in transgenic zebrafish by labeling vitamin D protein, allowing for precise reporting of proximal tubule function.
