What is the function of this protein?
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.  Can also form a functional, homotetrameric ion channel (By similarity).  Functions as a cation channel involved in fluid-flow mechanosensation by the primary cilium in renal epithelium.  Functions as outward-rectifying K(+) channel, but is also permeable to Ca(2+), and to a much lesser degree also to Na(+) (By similarity).  May contribute to the release of Ca(2+) stores from the endoplasmic reticulum (By similarity).  Together with TRPV4, forms mechano- and thermosensitive channels in cilium.  PKD1 and PKD2 may function through a common signaling pathway that is necessary to maintain the normal, differentiated state of renal tubule cells.  Acts as a regulator of cilium length, together with PKD1.  The dynamic control of cilium length is essential in the regulation of mechanotransductive signaling.  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.  Also involved in left-right axis specification via its role in sensing nodal flow; forms a complex with PKD1L1 in cilia to facilitate flow detection in left-right patterning.  Detection of asymmetric nodal flow gives rise to a Ca(2+) signal that is required for normal, asymmetric expression of genes involved in the specification of body left-right laterality (By similarity).
What are the official names of this protein?
Polycystin-2, Polycystic kidney disease 2 protein homolog, Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily P member 2.

Belongs to the polycystin family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cell projection, cilium membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Basolateral cell membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Golgi apparatus. Note=PKD2 localization to the plasma and ciliary membranes requires PKD1. PKD1:PKD2 interaction is required to reach the Golgi apparatus form endoplasmic reticulum and then traffic to the cilia (By similarity). Retained in the endoplasmic reticulum by interaction with PACS1 and PACS2. Detected on kidney tubule basolateral membranes and basal cytoplasmic vesicles. Cell surface and cilium localization requires GANAB.
