{"symbol":"PKD2L1","synonyms":["PKD2L","TRPP3","PKDL"],"name":"polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1","description":"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.
