Pkd2l1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; monoatomic ion channel activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Contributes to monoatomic cation channel activity and sour taste receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to acidic pH; detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sour taste; and protein tetramerization. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane. Part of calcium channel complex and receptor complex. Colocalizes with cell surface. Is expressed in cochlea; medulla oblongata; spinal cord; and tongue. Orthologous to human PKD2L1 (polycystin 2 like 1, transient receptor potential cation channel).

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 Pkd2l1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
