Gene:
polycystic kidney disease (polycystin) and REJ (sperm receptor for egg jelly homolog, sea urchin)-like
Gene ID:
194385
Symbol:
PKDREJ
Species:
1000
Description:
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.
