DESCRIPTION

Also known as PKD1_HUMAN, PKD1. Component of a heteromeric calcium-permeable ion channel formed by PKD1 and PKD2 that is activated by interaction between PKD1 and a Wnt family member, such as WNT3A and WNT9B (PubMed:27214281). Both PKD1 and PKD2 are required for channel activity (PubMed:27214281). Involved in renal tubulogenesis (PubMed:12482949). Involved in fluid-flow mechanosensation by the primary cilium in renal epithelium (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of cilium length, together with PKD2 (By similarity). The dynamic control of cilium length is essential in the regulation of mechanotransductive signaling (By similarity). 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. Interacts with PKD2; the interaction is required for ciliary localization (PubMed:20881056). Component of a heterotetrameric channel complex with PKD2; the tetramer contains one PKD1 chain and three PKD2 chains (PubMed:30093605). Interacts with PKD2L1 (By similarity). Interacts with PRKX; involved in differentiation and controlled morphogenesis of the kidney (PubMed:17980165). Interacts (via extracellular domain) with WNT3A, WNT4, WNT5A and WNT9B (PubMed:27214281). Interacts with DVL1 and DVL2 (PubMed:27214281). Interacts with NPHP1 (via SH3 domain) (PubMed:20856870). Interacts with BBS1, BBS4, BBS5 and TTC8 (PubMed:24939912). Interacts with RGS7 (PubMed:10339594).
