Germinal and somatic mutations in the PKD2 gene of renal cysts in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

abstract：:Targeting of numerous transmembrane proteins to the cell surface is thought to depend on their recognition by cargo receptors that interact with the adaptor machinery for anterograde traffic at the distal end of the Golgi complex. We report here on consortin, a novel integral membrane protein that is predicted to be i...
