title: [Cubilin: physiopathologic role and relationship with megalin].
abstract: Epithelia which line the renal proximal convoluted tubule, the visceral layer of the yolk sac and the ileum have the ability to internalize a variety of substances which not only serve as nutrients, but may also be transported from one compartment to another. Cubilin, a multiligand receptor, in association with megalin, also a multiligand receptor, appears to be important under both normal and pathological conditions.
