Summary: Predicted to enable mechanosensitive monoatomic ion channel activity and monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to mechanical stimulus; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception; and monoatomic cation transport. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal arthrogryposis type 3 and distal arthrogryposis type 5. Orthologous to human PIEZO2 (piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Using rat whisker hair follicles, study shows that Merkel cells rather than Abeta-afferent nerve endings are primary sites of tactile transduction and identify the Piezo2 ion channel as the Merkel cell mechanical transducer. Piezo2 transduces tactile stimuli into Ca2+-action potentials in Merkel cells, which drive Abeta-afferent nerve endings to fire slowly adapting impulses.
Title: Merkel cells transduce and encode tactile stimuli to drive Aβ-afferent impulses.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
