Our Mission

The mission of the Human Kidney and Urine Proteome Project (HKUPP) is to disclose all proteins in the kidney and urine and to elucidate functional interaction of the proteins for understanding the kidney function and to contribute to develop therapy for human kidney diseases.

To achieve this huge mission, standardized analysis and organized collection of kidney and urine proteome by an international collaboration is essential. The data and information obtained in the project is opened for public through the internet to encourage the spread of proteomics technologies in nephrology and to disseminate knowledge pertaining to the human kidney and urine proteome.
