PKHD1 PKHD1 ciliary IPT domain containing fibrocystin/polyductin

Gene ID: 5314, updated on 27-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FPC; FCYT; PCYT; PKD4; ARPKD; TIGM1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is predicted to have a single transmembrane (TM)-spanning domain and multiple copies of an immunoglobulin-like plexin-transcription-factor domain. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Other alternatively spliced transcripts have been described, but the full length sequences have not been determined. Several of these transcripts are predicted to encode truncated products which lack the TM and may be secreted. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, also known as polycystic kidney and hepatic disease-1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
