Further mutations of the PBP gene were found in PKD1 patients, two deletions (one a de novo event) and a splicing defect, confirming that PBP is the PKD1 gene.

We observed that VEGF/PKD-1 signaling axis significantly stimulated the expression of arteriogenic genes and promoted EC proliferation, along with downregulation of CD36 expression.
Lysophosphatidic acid, a phospholipid signaling mediator, abolishes endothelial cell responses to antiangiogenic proteins containing thrombospondin type 1 homology domains by downregulating endothelial CD36 transcription via protein kinase D1 (PKD-1) signaling.
We have initiated studies to identify transcribed sequences in this region using a bacteriophage P1 contig containing 700 kb of DNA surrounding the PKD1 and TSC2 genes.
Genetic variants in PKD1, which encodes the polycystin-1 (PC-1) protein, remain the predominant factor associated with the pathogenesis of nearly two-thirds of all patients diagnosed with PKD.
Collectively, our results demonstrate that PKD1 signaling plays a cell survival role during early stages of oxidative stress in dopaminergic neurons and therefore, positive modulation of the PKD1-mediated signal transduction pathway can provide a novel neuroprotective strategy against PD.
The reciprocal influence of PKD1 signaling on pro-mitogenicERK and pro-apopotic JNK/c-Jun pathways prompted us to examine whether PKD1 overexpression promotes DNA synthesis and proliferation of PANC-1 cells.
Dysfunction of polycystin-1 or polycystin-2, the proteins encoded by polycystic kidney disease 1 (<i>PKD1</i>) and <i>PKD2</i>, respectively, are the cause of autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD).
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common, potentially lethal, monogenic diseases and is caused predominantly by mutations in polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) and PKD2, which encode polycystin 1 (PC1) and PC2, respectively.
Annualized median liver growth rates were 1.68, 1.5 and 1.24% for PKD1-T, PKD1-NT and PKD2 mutations, respectively (P = 0.49), and remained unaffected by the ADPKD genotype when adjusted for age, gender and baseline HtLV.
Forty patients occurred in 39 families with known ADPKD and were associated with PKD1 mutation in 36 families and with PKD2 mutation in two families (no mutation identified in one family).
