What is the function of this protein?
Pore-forming subunit of a mechanosensitive non-specific cation channel (PubMed:23479567, PubMed:23695678).  Generates currents characterized by a linear current-voltage relationship that are sensitive to ruthenium red and gadolinium.  Plays a key role in epithelial cell adhesion by maintaining integrin activation through R-Ras recruitment to the ER, most probably in its activated state, and subsequent stimulation of calpain signaling (PubMed:20016066).  In the kidney, may contribute to the detection of intraluminal pressure changes and to urine flow sensing.  Acts as shear-stress sensor that promotes endothelial cell organization and alignment in the direction of blood flow through calpain activation (PubMed:25119035).  Plays a key role in blood vessel formation and vascular structure in both development and adult physiology (By similarity).  Acts as sensor of phosphatidylserine (PS) flipping at the plasma membrane and governs morphogenesis of muscle cells.  In myoblasts, flippase-mediated PS enrichment at the inner leaflet of plasma membrane triggers channel activation and Ca2+ influx followed by Rho GTPases signal transduction, leading to assembly of cortical actomyosin fibers and myotube formation.
What are the official names of this protein?
Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1, Membrane protein induced by beta-amyloid treatment, Mib, Protein FAM38A.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the PIEZO (TC 1.A.75) family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell projection, lamellipodium membrane. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=In erythrocytes, located in the plasma membrane (PubMed:22529292, PubMed:23479567). Accumulates at the leading apical lamellipodia of endothelial cells in response to shear stress (PubMed:25119035). Colocalizes with F-actin and MYH9 at the actomyosin cortex in myoblasts.
