Background:
Pore-forming subunit of a ciliary calcium channel that controls calcium concentration within primary cilia without affecting cytoplasmic calcium concentration. Forms a heterodimer with PKD1L1 in primary cilia and forms a calcium-permeant ciliary channel that regulates sonic hedgehog/SHH signaling and GLI2 transcription. May act as a sour taste receptor by forming a calcium channel with PKD1L3 in gustatory cells; however, its contribution to sour taste perception is unclear in vivo and may be indirect.
PKD2L1: May function as a subunit of an ion channel and act as a transducer of calcium-mediated signaling. Belongs to the polycystin family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integral; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Channel, cationChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 10q24Cellular Component: cell surface; endoplasmic reticulum; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; membrane; nonmotile primary cilium; plasma membrane; receptor complexMolecular Function: alpha-actinin binding; calcium activated cation channel activity; calcium channel activity; calcium ion binding; calcium-activated potassium channel activity; cation channel activity; cation transmembrane transporter activity; cytoskeletal protein binding; identical protein binding; muscle alpha-actinin binding; protein binding; sodium channel activity; sour taste receptor activityBiological Process: cation transport; detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sour taste; detection of mechanical stimulus; sensory perception of sour taste; smoothened signaling pathway

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded protein contains multiple transmembrane domains, and cytoplasmic N- and C-termini. The protein may be an integral membrane protein involved in cell-cell/matrix interactions. This protein functions as a calcium-regulated nonselective cation channel. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
