    Polycystic kidney disease 2-like-1 (PKD2L1), or polycystin-L or TRPP2, formerly TRPP3, is a transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily member. It is a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel that regulates intracellular calcium concentration and thereby calcium signaling. PKD2L1 has been reported to take part in hedgehog signaling in renal primary cilia and sour tasting coupling with PKD1L3. In addition to the previous reports, PKD2L1 is recently found to play a crucial role in localization with β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) on the neuronal primary cilia. The disruption of PKD2L1 leads to the loss of β2AR on the primary cilia and reduction in intracellular concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Since the role of cAMP and PKA is frequently mentioned in the studies of PKD diseases, we investigated on the mechanism of cAMP regulation in relation to the function of PKD2L1 channel. In this study, we observed the activity of PKD2L1 channel increased by the downstream cascades of β2AR and found the clustered phosphorylation sites, Ser-682, Ser-685, and Ser-686 that are significant in the channel regulation by phosphorylation.
