Polycystin-2 (PC2)[5] is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PKD2 gene.[6][7][8]

The gene PKD2 also known as TRPP2, encodes a member of the polycystin protein family, called

calcium homeostasis and other signal transduction pathways. This protein interacts with polycystin 1 (TRPP1) to produce cation-permeable currents. It was discovered by Stefan Somlo at Yale University

Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.[8]
