PIEZO2 is a mechanosensitive cation channel that serves as a principal mechanotransducer in diverse physiological processes 1. The channel functions as a homotrimeric structure with unique curvature-based gating dynamics, enabling high mechanosensitivity and selective cation conductivity 1. PIEZO2 is predominantly expressed in peripheral sensory neurons where it mediates touch sensation, tactile pain, and proprioception 21. Beyond cutaneous sensation, PIEZO2 controls gastrointestinal transit by sensing gut content through dorsal root ganglia neurons, with humans lacking PIEZO2 exhibiting impaired bowel sensation and motility 3. In musculoskeletal contexts, PIEZO2 expressing nociceptors mediate mechanical sensitization in experimental osteoarthritis, particularly in joint pain associated with nerve growth factor signaling 4. The channel exhibits rapid inactivation properties that are crucial for proper function, with altered inactivation linked to various mechanopathologies 5. PIEZO2 dysfunction is associated with arthrogryposis and proprioceptive disorders, highlighting its clinical significance in human mechanosensation 2. The channel's role extends to gastrointestinal disorders, where abnormal regulation may contribute to irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease 6.
