The following text describes a protein:
Function:
Pore-forming subunit of a mechanosensitive non-specific cation channel (By similarity). Generates currents characterized by a linear current-voltage relationship (By similarity). Plays a role in reproduction by positively regulating inter-tissue signaling to promote oocyte maturation, ovulation and fertilization, and sperm navigation from and to the spermatheca. May play a role in regulating cytosolic and endoplasmic reticulum calcium ion release.
Miscellaneous:
MISCELLANEOUS: Piezo comes from the Greek 'piesi' meaning pressure; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform a]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform b]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform c]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform d]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform e]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform f]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform g]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform h]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform i]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform j]: Produced by alternative splicing; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform k]: Produced by alternative initiation at Met-755 of isoform g; MISCELLANEOUS: [Isoform l]: Produced by alternative initiation at Met-1405 of isoform g.
Subcellular Localization:
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
