Schematic of proposed signaling pathway in normal kidney cells. Cilium bending in response to tubular flow allows for calcium entry into the cell. This results in the translocation of PKC to the cell membrane, where it leads to an increase in RKIP. RKIP then suppresses signaling through the MAPK/ERK pathway, leading to control of cellular proliferation and maintenance of cell differentiation.
