Genomic Organization and Functional Analysis of Murine PKD2L1
18 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in genes that encode polycystins 1 or 2 cause polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Here, we report the genomic organization and functional expression of murine orthologue of human polycystin-2L1 (PKD2L1). The murine PKD2L1 gene comprises 15 exons in chromosome 19C3. Coexpression of PKD2L1 together with polycystin-1 (PKD1) resulted in the expression of PKD2L1 channels on the cell surface, whereas PKD2L1...
