Abstract excerpt
Mutations in PKHD1 (polycystic kidney and hepatic disease gene 1) gene cause the autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). It is widely accepted that cystogenesis is owing to aberrant cell proliferation and apoptosis, increased fluid secretion, and extracellular matrix abnormality. Fibrocystin/polyductin (FPC), the encoded protein product by PKHD1, is a single transmembrane protein and believed to be...
