UniProtKB description: Potential monoatomic ion channel gated by mechanical force, implicated in normal touch sensitivity through the generation of mechanically activated currents (PubMed:32228863, PubMed:38422143). However, a direct channel activity is debated and an alternative could be that it functions as a chaperone for an unidentified mechanosensitive ion channel (PubMed:32228863, PubMed:36373655). Could also be involved in cell mechanosensitivity regulating cell adhesion and migration (PubMed:32228863). May also be involved in retrograde transport from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) (PubMed:26157166).
