It has been proposed that autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)affected renal epithelial cells undergo a phenotypic transition from a highly differentiated absorptive state to a much less differentiated secretory state during cystogenesis and that this transition is accompanied by loss of epithelial cell polarity and mistargeting of specific membrane proteins. We conducted a detailed evaluation of...
