Article Synopsis
- - ZFYVE21 is a protein found in endothelial cells that plays a key role in maintaining vascular barrier function, especially in aging kidneys, but its exact functions were previously unclear.
- - In a study, researchers created mice that lack ZFYVE21 specifically in endothelial cells, revealing that these mice exhibited serious health issues such as reduced nitric oxide activity and kidney problems as they aged.
- - The study indicates that ZFYVE21 influences the movement of certain proteins within cells to keep endothelial nitric oxide synthase (ENOS) active, which is important for kidney function in older individuals.
