Anti-PKD2L1

Polyclonal Antibody against Human PKD2L1, Gene description: polycystin 2 like 1, transient receptor potential cation channel, Alternative Gene Names: PCL, PKD2L, PKDL, TRPP3, Validated applications: ICC, Uniprot ID: Q9P0L9, Storage: Store at +4°C for short term storage. Long time storage is recommended at -20°C. Protein function: Pore-forming subunit of a heterotetrameric, non-selective cation channel that is permeable to Ca(2+) (PubMed:10517637, PubMed:11959145, PubMed:25820328, PubMed:27754867, PubMed:29425510, PubMed:23212381, PubMed:30004384). Pore-forming subunit of a calcium- permeant ion channel formed by PKD1L2 and PKD1L1 in primary cilia, where it controls cilium calcium concentration, but does not affect cytoplasmic calcium concentration (PubMed:24336289). The channel formed by PKD1L2 and PKD1L1 in primary cilia regulates sonic hedgehog/SHH signaling and GLI2 transcription (PubMed:24336289). Pore-forming subunit of a channel formed by PKD1L2 and PKD1L3 that contributes to sour taste perception in gustatory cells (PubMed:19812697). The heteromeric channel formed by PKD1L2 and PKD1L3 is activated by low pH, but opens only when the extracellular pH rises again (PubMed:23212381). May play a role in the perception of carbonation taste. May play a role in the sensory perception of water, via a mechanism that activates the channel in response to dilution of salivary bicarbonate and changes in salivary pH.
