肾病蛋白(Nephrin)对于"肾小球滤过屏障"(renal filtration barrier)的适当运作是必需要的蛋白质。"肾小球滤过屏障"由"窗孔内皮细胞"(fenestrated endothelial cell)、肾小球基底膜(GBM),以及"上皮细胞"(epithelial cell)之足细胞所组成。肾病蛋白是一种跨膜蛋白,它是滤过裂隙的一个结构部件。[1]

在肾病蛋白、NPHS1、基因中的缺陷,与"芬兰型先天性肾病综合症"(congenital nephrotic syndrome)有所相关联,并且导致蛋白质大量被泄漏到尿,或蛋白尿里。而"心血管"(cardiovascular)的发展需要肾病蛋白。[2]
