Background: CD151 is essential for the proper assembly of the glomerular and tubular basement membranes in kidney. It interacts with integrins alpha3beta1, alpha5beta1, alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4, and with CD9 and CD181. It is expressed in a variety of tissues including vascular endothelium and epidermis, platelets, monocytes and also erythroid cells, with a higher level of expression in erythroid precursors than on mature erythrocytes. CD151 is however not expressed by lymphocytes or granulocytes. Defects in CD151 are the cause of nephropathy with pretibial epidermolysis bullosa and deafness.
