Mutations in PRKCSH, encoding the β-subunit of glucosidase II, an N-linked glycan-
processing enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), cause autosomal dominant
polycystic liver disease. We found that mutations in SEC63, encoding a component of the
protein translocation machinery in the ER, also cause this disease. These findings are
suggestive of a role for cotranslational protein-processing pathways in maintaining epithelial
luminal structure and implicate noncilial ER proteins in human polycystic disease.
