Transcription and translation of gp600 and receptor-associated protein (RAP) in active Heymann nephritis.

Unlabelled: Active Heymann nephritis (HN) of rat, an autoimmune glomerular disease, is a model for human membranous glomerulonephropathy. The autoantigen of HN is a glycoprotein of approximately 600 kd that is present in both rat and human kidneys. Another kidney protein of 39-45 kd called receptor-associated protein (RAP) is associated with gp600.
