Abstract excerpt
Most patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) harbor mutations in PKD1, the gene for polycystin-1 (PC1), a transmembrane protein with a cytoplasmic C-terminus that interacts with numerous signaling molecules, including Gα12. The functions of PC1 and the mechanisms of cyst development leading to renal failure are complex. Recently, we reported that PC1 expression levels modulate activity...
