Distinct roles of transcription factors EGL-46 and DAF-19 in specifying the functionality of a polycystin-expressing sensory neuron necessary for C. elegans male vulva location behavior [PDF]
, 2003 Caenorhabditis elegans polycystins LOV-1 and PKD-2 are expressed in the male-specific HOB neuron, and are necessary for sensation of the hermaphrodite vulva during mating. We demonstrate that male vulva location behavior and expression of lov-1 and pkd-2

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 23, Page 6182-6194, December 2025.Enzymes from the phosphodiesterase type 4 family (PDE4) coordinate physiological events driven by the cyclic AMP s(cAMP) signaling pathway by tightly controlling cAMP dynamics in many cell types. Key to this strict regulation is the myriad of posttranslational modifications that alter PDE4 activity, cellular location, and binding partner selection ...

Recent Advances in the Management of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.
American Society of Nephrology. Clinical Journal, 2018 Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common monogenic cause of ESKD, is characterized by relentless development of kidney cysts, hypertension, and destruction of the kidney parenchyma. Over the past few years, major advancements
