Background Information
Mechanotransduction, the conversion of mechanical force into biological signals, is a fundamental physiologic process of mammalian cells that influences many critical processes including embryonic development, tactile, pain, and auditory sensation, regulation of vascular tone, flow sensing in the kidney, and muscle and tendon stretch. FAM38A, also known as Piezo1, has recently been identified as a mechanotransduction protein that gets involved in mechanosensation and stretch-activated cation channel activation. Piezo1 also plays a key role in epithelial cell adhesion by maintaining integrin activation through R-Ras recruitment to the ER. Mutations in the gene encoding Piezo1 are associated with hereditary xerocytosis. Piezo1 also regulates extrusion to maintain homeostatic epithelial cell numbers. This antibody was raised against the extracellular domain of human Piezo1. (PMID: 20016066, 28416610)
