Uromodulin, which was first described as Tamm-Horsfall protein in 1950, is an important biomarker in nephrology. The protein is exclusively expressed in the kidney and is mostly secreted into the renal tubules. A small amount also ends up in the blood circulation. Both uromodulin concentration in urine as well as in serum are used as
Prof. Rolf Hilgenfeld and his team from the Institute for Biochemistry at the University of Lübeck look back at several months of intense work, including many night shifts. At the end of July 2016, their work on the crystal structure of a protein essential for survival of the Zika virus was published in the scientific
