Kin of IRRE-like protein 3 (KIRREL3) also known as kin of irregular chiasm-like protein 3 or NEPH2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIRREL3 gene.[5]

NEPH2 is a member of the NEPH protein family of transmembrane proteins, which includes NEPH1 (KIRREL) and NEPH3 (KIRREL2). The NEPH proteins can interact with nephrin and CASK.

Function

[edit]

NEPH2 has been implicated in synapse formation.[6] Disruption of KIRREL3 gene function had been associated with abnormal brain function.[7]

NEPH1 and NEPH2 are involved in the blood filtration function of the kidney and are located in the slit diaphragm.[8]
