Description
Product Characteristics: FUNCTION: May function as an ion-channel regulator. May function with PKD2L1 as heteromeric taste channels. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in a subset of taste receptor cells distinct from those involved in bitter, sweet and umami taste. Expressed in circumvallate and foliate taste buds, but not in surrounding non-gustatory lingual epithelium cells. Expressed in testis.,Mammalian Polycystin,PK1L3, Polycystin-1L3, PC1-like 3 protein
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded protein contains 11 transmembrane domains, a latrophilin/CL-1-like GPCR proteolytic site (GPS) domain, and a polycystin-1, lipoxygenase, alpha-toxin (PLAT) domain. This protein may function as a component of cation channel pores.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
