Recent studies now suggest it is a specific pool of cAMP generated in the cilium that propels cyst formation in ADPKD, supporting the notion that this antenna-like organelle is a compartment within which cAMP signaling occurs independently from cAMP signaling in the bulk cytosol.

Ciliary membrane localization of GPCRs determines their downstream function.
Optogenetic tools have helped establish that cAMP generated in the primary cilium can drive cystogenesis.
Recent studies suggest that a specific pool of cAMP generated in the primary cilium propels cyst formation in ADPKD, supporting the primary cilium as an independent cAMP signaling compartment.
