Megalin is an endocytic receptor in the proximal tubules that reabsorbs filtered proteins in the kidneys. Recycling of megalin after endocytosis and its expression on the apical plasma membrane of the proximal tubule are critical for its function. The expression of megalin in the kidney undergoes dynamic changes under physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. Receptors and various effector signaling components regulate megalin expression and, potentially, function. Genetic manipulation and rare mutations in megalin suggest that a lack of or deficiency in megalin expression/function promotes tubular proteinuria and albuminuria. However, the role of megalin in kidney diseases associated with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxicity remains unclear. To address these questions, animal and human studies have indicated megalin as a protective, injurious, and potentially urinary marker of nephropathy. This article reviews the literature on the regulation of megalin expression and the role of megalin in the pathophysiology of the kidney under experimental and clinical conditions. Moreover, this review articulates the need for studies that can clarify whether megalin can serve as a therapeutic target, in one way or the other, to treat kidney disease.
