Calcium signals act through histone deacetylase to mediate pronephric kidney morphogenesis
9 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common monogenetic kidney disorder and is linked to mutations in PKD1 and PKD2. PKD2, a Ca2+‐conducting TRP channel enriched in ciliated cells and gated by extracellular signals, is necessary to activate the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin–dependent protein kinase type 2 (CaMK‐II), enabling kidney morphogenesis and cilia stability. Results: In...
