High impact information on PKD2L2

  • PKD2L2 consists of 17 exons spanning approximately 50 kb of genomic DNA [1].
  • Full-length cDNA sequences for both mouse and human polycystin-L2 were obtained from testis cDNA [1].
  • PKD2L2 and PKD2L, which encode proteins of 613 and 805 amino acids, are approximately 65% similar to polycystin-2 [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of PKD2L2

  • Sequence analysis predicts that the mouse and human polycystin-L2 proteins consist of 621 and 624 amino acid residues, respectively [1].
