Name | PIEZO2 (HGNC:26270) |
---|---|
Function | Pore-forming subunit of a mechanosensitive non-specific cation channel required for rapidly adapting mechanically activated (MA) currents and has a key role in sensing touch and tactile pain. Required for Merkel-cell mechanotransduction. Plays a major role in light-touch mechanosensation. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CD54}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CD54} |

Background
Piezos are large transmembrane proteins conserved amongvarious species, all having between 24 and 36 predictedtransmembrane domains. 'Piezo' comes from the Greek 'piesi,'meaning 'pressure.' The PIEZO2 protein has a role in rapidlyadapting mechanically activated (MA) currents in somatosensoryneurons (Coste et al., 2010 [PubMed 20813920]).
