This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family, called TRPP2, previously known as polycystin-2, PC2 or APKD2. TRPP2 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

Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.[6]

Interactions

Polycystin 2 has been shown to interact with the proteins TRPC1,[7] PKD1[7][8] and TNNI3.[9]

gollark: e.g.```haskellfunction a b = a + b-- expands tofunction = \a -> \b -> a + b````function 1` returns a function with 1 "captured" in a closure or whatever, which will then take the next argument and finally evaluate itself.
gollark: Multiparameter functions actually just return a function which takes another value when fed an argument.
gollark: Does your thing have currying?
gollark: Oh, the arity, right.
gollark: Should be fine.
