DOI: 10.1002/cphy.c160018
Abstract: Renal cysts, which arise from renal tubules, can be seen in a variety of hereditary and nonhereditary entities. Common mechanisms associated with renal cyst formation include increased cell proliferation, epithelial fluid secretion, and extracellular matrix… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2020.109626
Abstract: Variants in genes which encode for polycystin-1 and polycystin-2 cause most forms of autosomal dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD). Despite our strong understanding of the genetic determinants of ADPKD, we do not understand the structural features… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-53061-0
Abstract: Polycystin-1 (PC-1) and 2 (PC-2) are the products of the PKD1 and PKD2 genes, which are mutated in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). They form a receptor/channel complex that has been suggested to function… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.17212
Abstract: The mechanobiological aspects of glioblastoma (GBM) pathogenesis are largely unknown. Polycystin‐1 (PC1) is a key mechanosensitive protein which perceives extracellular mechanical cues and transforms them into intracellular biochemical signals that elicit a change in cell… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/hypertensionaha.122.19057
Abstract: Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most frequent hereditary kidney disease and is generally due to mutations in PKD1 and PKD2, encoding polycystins 1 and 2. In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, hypertension… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jcs.259013
Abstract: ABSTRACT Mutations in the PKD2 gene cause autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease but the physiological role of polycystin-2, the protein product of PKD2, remains elusive. Polycystin-2 belongs to the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of non-selective… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4045277
Abstract: OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore whether intraflagellar transport protein 88 (IFT88) was associated with polycystin 2 during mechanotransduction of mandibular condylar chondrocytes. METHODS Rat mandibular condylar chondrocytes isolated from the condylar bone-cartilage junction were… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.60684
Abstract: Mutations in the polycystin proteins, PC-1 and PC-2, result in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and ultimately renal failure. PC-1 and PC-2 enrich on primary cilia, where they are thought to form a heteromeric… read more here.
