PIEZO2 - piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 2 Gene
Also Known as DA3; DA5; MWKS; DAIPT; FAM38B; HsT748; HsT771; FAM38B2; C18orf30; C18orf58
Species: Homo sapiens
About PIEZO2
This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants), 293 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 9 phenotypes. Broad expression in lung (RPKM 2.7), gall bladder (RPKM 2.6) and 20 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene contains more than thirty transmembrane domains and likely functions as part of mechanically-activated (MA) cation channels. These channels serve to connect mechanical forces to biological signals. The encoded protein quickly adapts MA currents in somatosensory neurons. Defects in this gene are a cause of type 5 distal arthrogryposis. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known.
