Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary disorder leading to kidney cyst formation and loss of kidney function. The major causative genes Pkd1 and Pkd2 encode for the ciliary proteins polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), respectively, which are involved in ciliary functions. Within PKD1-defective cells, the accumulation of misfolded PC1 proteins triggers the unfolded protein...
