The phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R1, 180kDa) is a C-type lectin membrane protein. PLA2R1 binds secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) from snake venoms and mammalian tissues. Venom sPLA2s have multiple toxic and pharmacological properties, whereas mammalian sPLA2s are implicated in various physiological and pathophysiological conditions,...

Background and objectives Patients with membranous nephropathy can have circulating autoantibodies against membrane-bound (phospholipase A2 receptor 1 [PLA2R1] and thrombospondin type-1 domain containing 7A [THSD7A]) and intracellular (aldose reductase, SOD2, and α-enolase) podocyte autoantigens. We studied their combined association with...
