PKD1 mutations are responsible for the majority of cases of autosomal dominant PKD, a genetic disorder that causes the formation of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. Polycystin 1 is a transmembrane protein that plays a vital role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. It is primarily expressed in the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and other tissues, where it helps regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Dysfunction of Polycystin 1 disrupts these essential cellular processes, leading to the formation of cysts in the kidneys. Research has shown that Polycystin 1 interacts with other proteins, such as Polycystin 2, to form a protein complex that regulates calcium signaling and cell growth. Mutations in PKD1 disrupt this complex, causing aberrant calcium signaling and uncontrolled cell proliferation, which ultimately results in cyst formation and kidney damage. Studies have also suggested that Polycystin 1 may play a role in the mechanosensory function of kidney epithelial cells, allowing them to respond to changes in fluid flow and pressure within the nephron. Dysregulation of this mechanosensory function due to PKD1 mutations may contribute to the development and progression of PKD.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSubcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eImmunohistochemistry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eELISA: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and PTMs:\u003c\/strong\u003e many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands\/signals accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpitope context:\u003c\/strong\u003e binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title\/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies differences:\u003c\/strong\u003e predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl concepts:\u003c\/strong\u003e include negative controls (no-primary\/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO\/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search: PKD1 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=PKD1 - Gene search: PKD1 — NCBI Gene — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=PKD1 - Ensembl search: PKD1 — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=PKD1 - PubMed search: PKD1 antibody — PubMed — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=PKD1+antibody - Reactome search: PKD1 — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=PKD1 --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5 mg\/ml in 1X TBS, pH7.3, with 0.5% BSA (US sourced) and 0.02% sodium azide \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53046420242797,"sku":"R36500-100UG","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_55776b3a-bced-465f-82e8-98bfee00bad8.jpg?v=1772000540","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/polycystin-1-antibody-pkd1-bha17128448","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
