Gene activity and genetics point to EHHADH in a FUNDC1-linked mitochondrial system in diabetic kidney disease

Updated

Abstract

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease.

  • Core factors in diabetic nephropathy include glomerular and tubular injury, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired mitophagy.
  • FUNDC1 has been identified as a crucial receptor for the process of mitophagy.
  • The regulatory mechanism of FUNDC1 in diabetic nephropathy is not well understood.
