Strong homophilic interactions of the Ig-like domains of polycystin-1, the protein product of an autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease gene, PKD1
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
The 14 kb mRNA of the polycystic kidney disease gene PKD1 encodes a novel large (approximately 460 kDa) protein, polycystin-1, of unknown function that is responsible for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The unique organization of multiple adhesive domains of polycystin-1, including 16 Ig-like domains (or PKD domains) suggests that it may play an important role in cell-cell/cell-matrix...
