Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000154864:
Piezos are large transmembrane proteins conserved among various species, all having between 24 and 36 predicted transmembrane domains. 'Piezo' comes from the Greek 'piesi,' meaning 'pressure.' The PIEZO2 protein has a role in rapidly adapting mechanically activated (MA) currents in somatosensory neurons (Coste et al., 2010 [PubMed 20813920]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010]
