Comparison of glomerulus proteome with plasma proteome. Contamination of plasma proteins in the glomerulus proteome was roughly estimated by comparison with a high-confidence, non-redundant dataset of normal human plasma proteome [13]. Among the 401 overlapping proteins between the two proteomes, representing 22.1% of the glomerulus proteome, 40 proteins, annotated as “extracellular space” by GO Cellular Component vocabulary, were selected as plasma proteins to exclude low-abundance, tissue-leakage proteins including intrinsic glomerular proteins.
