Fibrocystin
Fibrocystin is a large, receptor-like protein that is thought to be involved in the tubulogenesis and/or maintenance of duct-lumen architecture of epithelium.[5] FPC associates with the primary cilia of epithelial cells and co-localizes with the Pkd2 gene product polycystin-2 (PC2), suggesting that these two proteins may function in a common molecular pathway.

Pathology
Mutations of its encoding gene (chromosomal locus 6p12.2) can cause autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease.
gollark: So you can just use P=IV with that, as you can work out the voltage.
gollark: voltage on primary/voltage on secondary = turns on primary/turns on secondary if I remember right, and the power on both things is the same (ignoring losses).
gollark: Just solve for a.
gollark: v = end velocity, u = start velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.
gollark: My physics data/formulæ sheet says v² = u² + 2as.
