Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PIEZO2 gene.^[5] It has a homotrimeric structure, with three blades curving into a nano-dome, with a diameter of 28 nanometers.^[6]

Function[edit]

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.^[7] Its structure is resolved via a mouse version in 2019, showing the predicted homotrimeric propeller.^[8]

PIEZO2 is typically found in cell types that respond to physical touch, such as Merkel cells,^[9] and is thought to regulate light touch response.^[10]

Pathology[edit]

Gain-of-function mutations in the mechanically activated ion channel PIEZO2 cause a subtype of Distal Arthrogryposis.^[11]
Mice without PIEZO2 in their proprioceptive neurons show uncoordinated body movements, indicating that PIEZO2 plays a role in mammalian proprioception.^[12]
PIEZO2 mutations link Gordon syndrome (distal arthrogryposis type 3), Marden-Walker syndrome and Arthrogryposis (Distal Arthrogryposis Type 5).^[13]
