Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PIEZO2 gene. The PIEZO2 protein has a role in mechanotransduction. Mechanical activation of the channel leads to depolarization of the plasma membrane or activation of secondary messenger cascades. PIEZO2 was cloned in 2010 after its homolog, PIEZO1, was…
