MeSH definition : A complex of antigenic proteins obtained from the brush border of kidney tubules.
It contains two principal components LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN RECEPTOR-RELATED PROTEIN-2
and LDL-RECEPTOR RELATED PROTEIN-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN. The name of this complex is derived
from researcher, Dr. Walter Heymann, who developed an experimental model of membranous
glomerulonephritis (GLOMERULONEPHRITIS) by injecting this antigenic complex into rats
to induce an autoimmune response.;
