Abstract

Megalin and cubilin are two large endocytic membrane receptors expressed in several tissues but with the highest expression in the renal proximal tubule. The two receptors mediate the endocytic uptake of a large number of substances filtered in the renal glomeruli including proteins, vitamins and trace elements bound to their carrier proteins.
