• Polycystic liver disease
• Sec63

The formation of multiple cysts in one or several organs is a characteristic of several human inherited diseases. Recent research suggests that problems in planar cell polarity may be the common denominator in polycystic diseases. Mutations in at least two genes are linked to autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (PCLD), PRKCSH and SEC63. A recent study linked PRKCSH to the signaling- and cytoskeletal adaptor-component beta-catenin. In a yeast two hybrid screen we identified the cytosolic protein nucleoredoxin (NRX) as an interaction partner of human Sec63. Since NRX is involved in the Wnt signaling pathways, we characterized this interaction. Thus, Sec63 is linked to the Wnt signaling pathways and this interaction may be the reason why mutations in SEC63 can lead to PCLD.
