Pkd2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including ATPase binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and monoatomic cation channel activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of nodal flow; metal ion transport; and positive regulation of biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intracellular calcium ion homeostasis; liver development; and negative regulation of ryanodine-sensitive calcium-release channel activity. Located in several cellular components, including basal cortex; ciliary membrane; and microtubule cytoskeleton. Part of polycystin complex. Colocalizes with cell-cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and polycystic kidney disease 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; intracranial aneurysm; polycystic kidney disease; polycystic kidney disease 2; and retinal degeneration. Orthologous to human PKD2 (polycystin 2, transient receptor potential cation channel). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pkd2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
