CMIP and lipoprotein glomerulopathy: In addition, overexpression of CMIP in models of glomerulopathy, such as the Heyman nephritis rat model of membranous nephropathy (MN), and in MN patient biopsies, has been linked with increased death-associated protein kinase (DAPK), an apoptosis-related kinase [8] that is also upregulated in CMIP-transfected HEK cells [11].
