CCB 3217Discovery and characterization of a novel family of PIEZO channel auxiliary subunits PIEZO channels are critical cellular sensors of mechanical forces. Native PIEZO1 channels can display nonuniform subcellular localization and exhibit different gating kinetics—principally, slower inactivation in many cell types when compared with heterologous expression systems. These observations could be explained by differences in lipid composition, … Read More
