Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (PCLD) is characterized by multiple liver cysts and is caused by mutations in PRKCSH (hepatocystin). Mechanisms of cystogenesis are unknown, but previous studies have shown that hepatocystin is secreted in vitro. The goal of this study was to determine the fate of hepatocystin in vivo. Using immunoprecipitation, we determined that mutant hepatocystin is secreted from...
