GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

PKDREJ

Description

polycystic kidney disease (polycystin) and REJ homolog (sperm receptor for egg jelly homolog, sea urchin)

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potential transmembrane proteins, Potentially secreted proteins

Protein evidence

Only RNA

Entrez gene summary

This intronless gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded protein contains 11 transmembrane domains, a receptor for egg jelly (REJ) domain, a G-protein-coupled receptor proteolytic site (GPS) domain, and a polycystin-1, lipoxygenase, alpha-toxin (PLAT) domain. This protein may play a role in human reproduction. Alternative splice variants have been described but their biological natures have not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
