Abstract excerpt
Mutations in PKD1 (85%) or PKD2 (15%) account for almost all cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The ADPKD proteins, termed as polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), interact via their C-termini to form a receptor-ion channel complex whose function and regulation are not fully understood. Here, we report the first phosphorylated residue (Ser(829)) in PC2, whose dephosphorylation is...
