Polycystin 1 Polyclonal Antibody, AbBy Fluor™ 555 Conjugated

Involved in renal tubulogenesis. Involved in fluid-flow mechanosensation by the primary cilium in renal epithelium. Acts as a regulator of cilium length, together with PKD2. The dynamic control of cilium length is essential in the regulation of mechanotransductive signaling. The cilium length response creates a negative feedback loop whereby fluid shear-mediated deflection of the primary cilium, which decreases intracellular cAMP, leads to cilium shortening and thus decreases flow-induced signaling (By similarity) . May be an ion-channel regulator. Involved in adhesive protein-protein and protein-carbohydrate interactions.
