Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common genetic diseases in humans.It is caused by mutations in PKD1 and TRPP2.PKD1 (also known as polycystin-1 or PC1) is a 4302-amino acid, 465 kDa integral membrane protein containing 11 putative transmembrane regions.Its large extracellular N terminus contains a number of well recognized repeats and domains, some of which are known to interact with extracellular matrix proteins.The short intracellular C terminus contains a G protein activation site.
