Abstract:
p62 is a ubiquitous multifunctional protein with six domains in the body.p62 is mainly involved in selective autophagic degradation of ubiquitinated substrates.Hence, it has become an important biomarker of monitoring autophagic flux.p62 is also involved in oxidative stress.Additionally, p62 participates in series of cellular biological processes including nutrient sensing, apoptosis and metabolic reprogramming.The expression of p62 is regulated by some transcriptive factors such as TFEB.The mutations of p62 gene are associated with neurological and other disorders.It has been shown that p62 is necessary for maintaining normal function of glomerular podocytes, massangial cells and renal tubular cells.Based on the diversity and importance of p62 protein functions, it may turn to be a candidate of therapeutic target in renal diseases in future.
