Channels (Austin, Tex.) - 1 Jan 2000
Gottlieb Philip A, Sachs Frederick
Abstract excerpt
Piezo ion channels have been found to be essential for mechanical responses in cells. These channels were first shown to exist in Neuro2A cells, and the gene was identified by siRNAs that diminished the mechanical response. Piezo channels are approximately 2500 amino acids long, have between 24-3...
