ID:PKD2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Polycystin-2; AltName: Full=Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease type II protein; AltName: Full=Polycystic kidney disease 2 protein; AltName: Full=Polycystwin; AltName: Full=R48321; FUNCTION: Involved in fluid-flow mechanosensation by the primary cilium in renal epithelium (By similarity). PKD1 and PKD2 may function through a common signaling pathway that is necessary for normal tubulogenesis (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of cilium length, together with PKD1 (By similarity). The dynamic control of cilium length is essential in the regulation of mechanotransductive signaling. The cilium length response creates a negative feedback loop whereby fluid shear-mediated deflection of the primary cilium, which decreases intracellular cAMP, leads to cilium shortening and thus decreases flow-induced signaling (By similarity). Functions as a calcium permeable cation channel. SUBUNIT: Forms homooligomers. Isoform 1 interacts with PKD1 while isoform 3 does not (By similarity). PKD1 requires the presence of PKD2 for stable expression. Interacts with CD2AP. Interacts with HAX1. Interacts with NEK8 (By similarity). Part of a complex containing AKAP5, ADCY5, ADCY6 and PDE4C (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Potential). Endoplasmic reticulum. Cell projection, cilium (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Strongly expressed in ovary, fetal and adult kidney, testis, and small intestine. Not detected in peripheral leukocytes. DOMAIN: The C-terminal coiled-coil domain binds calcium and undergoes a calcium-induced conformation change. It is implicated in oligomerization and the interaction with PKD1. DISEASE: Defects in PKD2 are the cause of polycystic kidney disease 2 (PKD2) [MIM:613095]. PKD2 is a disorder characterized by progressive formation and enlargement of cysts in both kidneys, typically leading to end-stage renal disease in adult life. Cysts also occurs in the liver and other organs. It represents approximately 15% of the cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. PKD2 is clinically milder than PKD1 but it has a deleterious impact on overall life expectancy. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the polycystin family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 EF-hand domain.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
