Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit male-specific abnormalities in kidney proximal tubule structure and reabsorption function with increased urinary levels of albumin, glucose, HAVCR1, phosphate, potassium and amino acids, and altered autophagy in kidney tissue. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts show altered autophagosome organization and actin recruitment.
