Summary
Enables identical protein binding activity and mechanosensitive monoatomic cation channel activity. Involved in monoatomic cation transport and positive regulation of myotube differentiation. Acts upstream of or within detection of mechanical stimulus and regulation of membrane potential. Located in cuticular plate; plasma membrane; and stereocilium. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis 1 and hereditary lymphedema. Orthologous to human PIEZO1 (piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (Er blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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.
