The protein kinase D2 (PRKD2) gene, mapped to human chromosome 4q21-23, codes for integral membrane protein polycystin-2. PRKD2 is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase D (PRKD) family. It is characterized with two N-terminal cysteine-rich zinc finger domains involved in binding diacylglycerol (DAG) and phorbol esters, a central lipid/protein binding pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, and a C-terminal kinase domain. PRKD2 is mainly expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human PKD2 around the phosphorylation site of Ser876.
Immunogen Range: 829-878
Biochem/physiol Actions
Protein kinase D2 (PRKD2) is a novel, essential mediator of tumor cell-endothelial cell communication and a promising therapeutic target to inhibit angiogenesis in gastrointestinal cancers. Mutation in the gene leads to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Polycystin-2 might function as a component of intracellular channel complexes. PRKD2 influences CD8+ T cell-dependent immune responses. PKD2 facilitates cell migration and it is associated with the progression and maintenance of various malignancies. Increased expression of PKD2 is observed in various types of cancers including colorectal cancer, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). CRT0066101 acts as an inhibitor for all the three protein kinase D isoforms. Therefore, it can be used as a therapeutic drug for PRKD2 induced carcinogenesis.

The Protein Kinase D (PKD) isoforms PKD1, PKD2, and PKD3 are effectors of the novel Protein Kinase Cs (nPKCs) and diacylglycerol (DAG). PKDs impact diverse biological processes like protein transport, cell migration, proliferation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and apoptosis.

PKD2, the second gene for the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), encodes a protein, polycystin-2, with predicted structural similarity to cation channel subunits. However, the function of polycystin-2 remains unknown. We used polyclonal antisera specific for the intracellular NH(2)

A second gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease was identified by positional cloning. Nonsense mutations in this gene (PKD2) segregated with the disease in three PKD2 families. The predicted 968-amino acid sequence of the PKD2 gene product has six
Tumour angiogenesis is crucially dependent on the communication between the tumour and the associated endothelium. Protein kinase D (PKD) isoenzymes mediate vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) induced endothelial cell proliferation and migration and are also highly expressed in various tumours.
