Submembraneous microtubule cytoskeleton: interaction of TRPP2 with the cell cytoskeleton
27 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
TRPP2, also called polycystin-2, the gene product of PKD2, is a membrane protein defective in 10-15% of cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Mutations in PKD2 are also associated with extrarenal disorders, such as hepatic cystogenesis and cardiovascular abnormalities. TRPP2 is a Ca-permeable nonselective cation channel present in the endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane, as well as in cilia...
