Polycystic kidney disease results from loss of function of either of two novel proteins,
polycystin-1 or polycystin-2. Recent studies show that intracellular calcium signaling is
important in kidney development, and define defects in this signaling pathway as the basis
of cyst formation in polycystic kidney disease.
