GeneID: 5311 Human PKD2

Swiss-port # Q13563 Human Polycystin-2

Gene Symbol PKD2
Gene Full Name polycystin 2, transient receptor potential cation channel
Background This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded protein is a multi-pass membrane protein that functions as a calcium permeable cation channel, and is involved in calcium transport and calcium signaling in renal epithelial cells. This protein interacts with polycystin 1, and they may be partners in a common signaling cascade involved in tubular morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease type 2. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
Function Component of a heteromeric calcium-permeable ion channel formed by PKD1 and PKD2 that is activated by interaction between PKD1 and a Wnt family member, such as WNT3A and WNT9B (PubMed:27214281). Can also form a functional, homotetrameric ion channel (PubMed:29899465). Functions as a cation channel involved in fluid-flow mechanosensation by the primary cilium in renal epithelium (PubMed:18695040). Functions as outward-rectifying K+ channel, but is also permeable to Ca2+, and to a much lesser degree also to Na+ (PubMed:11854751, PubMed:15692563, PubMed:27071085, PubMed:27991905). May contribute to the release of Ca2+ stores from the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:11854751, PubMed:20881056). Together with TRPV4, forms mechano- and thermosensitive channels in cilium (PubMed:18695040). PKD1 and PKD2 may function through a common signaling pathway that is necessary to maintain the normal, differentiated state of renal tubule cells. Acts as a regulator of cilium length, together with PKD1. 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. Also involved in left-right axis specification via its role in sensing nodal flow; forms a complex with PKD1L1 in cilia to facilitate flow detection in left-right patterning. Detection of asymmetric nodal flow gives rise to a Ca2+ signal that is required for normal, asymmetric expression of genes involved in the specification of body left-right laterality. [UniProt]

PTM Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is important for protein function; a mutant that lacks the N-terminal phosphorylation sites cannot complement a zebrafish pkd2-deficient mutant (PubMed:16551655). PKD-mediated phosphorylation at the C-terminus regulates its function in the release of Ca(2+) stores from the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:20881056). PKA-mediated phosphorylation at a C-terminal site strongly increases the open probability of the channel, but does not increase single channel conductance (PubMed:26269590).
N-glycosylated. The four subunits in a tetramer probably differ in the extent of glycosylation; simultaneous glycosylation of all experimentally validated sites would probably create steric hindrance. Thus, glycosylation at Asn-305 is not compatible with glycosylation at Asn-328; only one of these two residues is glycosylated at a given time.
