Role of adaptor protein p66Shc in renal pathologies

Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2018 Feb 1;314(2):F143-F153. doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00414.2017. Epub 2017 Oct 4.

Abstract

p66Shc is one of the three adaptor proteins encoded by the Shc1 gene, which are expressed in many organs, including the kidney. Recent studies shed new light on several key questions concerning the signaling mechanisms mediated by p66Shc. The central goal of this review article is to summarize recent findings on p66Shc and the role it plays in kidney physiology and pathology. This article provides a review of the various mechanisms whereby p66Shc has been shown to function within the kidney through a wide range of actions. The mitochondrial and cytoplasmic signaling of p66Shc, as it relates to production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and renal pathologies, is further discussed.

Keywords: adaptor protein p66Shc; kidney diseases; oxidative stress; signal transduction.
