Structure, kinetic properties and biological function of mechanosensitive Piezo channels

Structure, kinetic properties and biological function of mechanosensitive Piezo channels

Abstract Mechanotransduction couples mechanical stimulation with ion flux, which is critical for normal biological processes involved in neuronal cell development, pain sensation, and red blood cell volume regulation. Although they are key mechanotransducers, mechanosensitive ion channels in mammals...
