Description
The gene spans over 351 kb and the transcript consists of 18 exons
Transcription
About 3.8 kb in length; Expressed in several organs with highest expression in kidney, heart and lungs.
Proteins

Description
912 amino acids residues, 120 kDa on SDS-PAGE gel; contains an alanine and proline rich (AP), two cysteine-rich domains (CysI and CysII), acidic (AC), pleckstrin homology (PH) and kinase domain (KD). Several domain specific protein interactions and functions have been described (see figure below).
Localisation
In rested cells, the majority of PKD1 are in the cytoplasm. When activated by phorbol ester, PKD1 rapidly moves to plasma membrane and nucleus.
Function
Serine/threonine kinase; protein kinase C downstream effector; intracellular trafficking;
PKD1 has been shown to play a role in proliferation of keratinocytes in skin, B and T lymphocytes and mast cells signaling, possible role in development of central tolerance in thymus gland, proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells, cardiac myocyte contraction, endothelial cell proliferation, osteoblasts differentiation, and prostate cancer cells adhesion and invasion.

Homology
Homologues present in mouse and rat.
Implicated in
Entity name
Advanced prostate cancer
Disease
PKD1 phosphorylates E-cadherin in prostate cancer cell lines. E-cadherin phosphorylation is associated with altered cellular aggregation and motility in prostate cancer. Inhibition of PKD1 activity by the selective inhibitor Go6976 in LNCaP cells resulted in decreased cellular aggregation and over expression of PKD1 in C4-2 prostate cancer cells increased cellular aggregation and decreased cellular motility.
Entity name
Cardiac hypertrophy
Disease
Transcriptional regulation of gene expression is tightly coupled to histone deacetylases (HDAC) and histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that modify the access of transcription factors to DNA binding sites. PKD1 has been shown to participate in nuclear export of HDAC5. HDAC5 is phosphorylated by PKD1 in cardiac myocytes, which results in the binding of 14-3-3 protein to the phosphoserine motif on HDAC5, thus leading to nuclear export through a CRM1-dependent mechanism. This results in increased transcriptional activity of hypertrophy mediating genes in myocytes. Cardiac failure is usually preceded by cardiac hypertrophy that is mediated by altered gene expression involved in myocyte contraction, calcium handling and metabolism. PKD1 specific inhibitors may be of benefit in limiting cardiac hypertrophy.
