About Pkd2

Primary_assembly 14: 5,237,135-5,280,825 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026987.1

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 222 orthologues, 10 paralogues and is associated with 18 phenotypes. Biased expression in Kidney (RPKM 188.3), Adrenal (RPKM 164.1) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables muscle alpha-actinin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Biomarker of acute kidney failure. 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, Apr 2022]
