UniProtKB description:  Pore-forming subunit of a heteromeric, non-selective cation channel that is permeable to Ca(2+) (PubMed:16891422, PubMed:15548533, PubMed:19464260, PubMed:20538909, PubMed:21185261, PubMed:22420714, PubMed:25820328, PubMed:28904867, PubMed:29567962). Pore-forming subunit of a calcium-permeant ion channel formed by PKD1L2 and PKD1L1 in primary cilia, where it controls cilium calcium concentration, but does not affect cytoplasmic calcium concentration (PubMed:24336288, PubMed:24336289). The channel formed by PKD1L2 and PKD1L1 in primary cilia regulates sonic hedgehog/SHH signaling and GLI2 transcription (PubMed:24336288). Pore-forming subunit of a channel formed by PKD1L2 and PKD1L3 that contributes to sour taste perception in gustatory cells (PubMed:16891422, PubMed:16929298, PubMed:20406802, PubMed:21098668, PubMed:21625513). The heteromeric channel formed by PKD1L2 and PKD1L3 is activated by low pH, but opens only when the extracellular pH rises again (PubMed:18535624, PubMed:19464260, PubMed:20538909, PubMed:20406802, PubMed:22420714, PubMed:28904867, PubMed:29567962). May play a role in the perception of carbonation taste (PubMed:19833970). May play a role in the sensory perception of water, via a mechanism that activates the channel in response to dilution of salivary bicarbonate and changes in salivary pH (PubMed:28553944).
