Understanding PLA2 Receptor antibody - Quantitative
The PLA2 Receptor antibody - Quantitative test is used to detect and measure antibodies against the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), a protein found on specialized kidney cells called podocytes, which play a key role in filtering blood and preventing protein loss in urine. PLA2R is part of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) family, a group of enzymes involved in breaking down certain fats (phospholipids) to produce molecules important for inflammation and cell signaling.
In a healthy body, PLA2R supports the nor...
