PIEZO1 piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (Er blood group)

Gene ID: 9780, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ER; DHS; Mib; LMPH3; FAM38A; LMPHM6

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a mechanically-activated ion channel that links mechanical forces to biological signals. The encoded protein contains 36 transmembrane domains and functions as a homotetramer. Defects in this gene have been associated with dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis.
