Polycystins and cellular Ca2+ signaling

Abstract excerpt

The cystic phenotype in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is characterized by a profound dysfunction of many cellular signaling patterns, ultimately leading to an increase in both cell proliferation and apoptotic cell death. Disturbance of normal cellular Ca(2+) signaling seems to be a primary event and is clearly involved in many pathways that may lead to both types of cellular responses. In this...
