Abstract. Mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes account for 85 15% of cases autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, respectively. Polycystin-2, product gene, is predicted to be an integral membrane protein with homology a family voltage-activated Ca 2+ channels. In vitro studies suggest that it may interact polycystin-1, gene product, via coiled-coil domains present their C-terminal domains. this study, cellular subcellular distribution polycystin-2 defined compared polycystin-1.
