Polycystins 1 and 2 mediate mechanosensation in the primary cilium of kidney cells. Nat Genet. 33:2003;129-137 The authors show that renal monocilia are mechanosensors able to sense fluid flow. Further, they demonstrate that polycystin 1 and 2 on the ciliary membrane are mechanotransducers and generate a calcium signal in response to fluid flow.
