Background: PIEZO2

PIEZO2 is an 318 kDa mechanosensitive nonselective cation channel, found in cell types that typically respond to physical touch. PIEZO2 is an essential mechanotransducer for touch, proprioception, and interoception.  PIEZO2 is important for aspects of breathing, bladder control, blood pressure regulation and many other processes since it is expressed in several classes of jugular and nodose ganglia neurons. Loss of function of PIEZO2 results in profound lack of proprioception and is diagnosed as a rare disease caused PIEZO2 deficiency syndrome.
