Lysosome-mediated aggregation of galactose-deficient IgA1 with transferrin receptor 1 links to IgA nephropathy

Abstract The retention of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) in the mesangium is central to IgA nephropathy (IgAN), but its intracellular fate remains unclear. Here, we show that transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) mediates Gd-IgA1 uptake into mesangial cell lysosomes, where it forms non-digestible aggreg...
