The gene PKD2 also known as TRPP2, encodes a member of the polycystin protein family, called TRPP, and contains multiple transmembrane domains, and cytoplasmic N- and C-termini. The protein may be an integral membrane protein involved in cell-cell/matrix interactions. TRPP2 may function in renal tubular development, morphology, and function, and may modulate intracellular calcium homeostasis and other signal transduction pathways. This protein interacts with polycystin 1 (TRPP1) to produce cation-permeable currents. It was discovered by Stefan Somlo at Yale University.

Clinical significance edit

Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.[8]

Interactions edit

Polycystin 2 has been shown to interact with the proteins TRPC1,[9] PKD1[9][10] and TNNI3.[11]
