An glomerulus tha glomerular basement membrane (GBM) consisting mainly of laminins, type IV collagen, agrin and nidogen, which are synthesized and secreted by both endothelial cells and podocytes: thus the GBM is sandwiched between the glomerular capillaries and the podocytes. Tha an GBM 250<unk>400 nm ann an tiugh, a tha nas tiugh na basement membranes of other tissue. Is e bacaidh a th 'ann do phròtainan fala leithid albumin agus globulin. Tha am pàirt den podocyte a tha ann an conaltradh ris an GBM air a ghairm pròiseas podocyte no pedicle (Fig. 3): tha beàrnan eadar na pròiseasan tro bheil an t-sreath a' sruthadh a-steach do capsal Bowman den chas. Tha an àite eadar podocyte agus nidogen, a tha air an synthesized agus a'seachnadh le gach cuid de cheallan endothelial agus podocytes: mar sin tha an GBM air a bhith air a shònadh eadar na
