Fibrocystin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fibrocystin is a large, receptor-like protein that is thought to be involved in the tubulogenesis and/or maintenance of duct-lumen architecture of epithelium.[1] Mutations of its encoding gene can cause autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease.
