    Summary
    Enables mechanosensitive cation channel activity. Involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception. Acts upstream of or within cation transport and regulation of membrane potential. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in dorsal root ganglion and lung. 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, Apr 2022]

    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.
