Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the growth of epithelial cells and the influx of cyst fluid. The 14-kb mRNA of the polycystic kidney disease gene, PKD1, encodes the polycystin-1 protein, whose function remains unknown. In this study, we observed that polycystin-1 localized in epithelial cell-cell contacts of 293 cells. We found, by bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation...
