Channel opening is triggered by mechanical forces that deform the membrane (PubMed:22282805, PubMed:25471887, PubMed:25500157). Channel opening is triggered by raising the intracellular pH to basic levels (By similarity). The channel is inactive at 24 degrees Celsius (in vitro); raising the temperature to 37 degrees Celsius increases the frequency of channel opening, with a further increase in channel activity when the temperature is raised to 42 degrees Celsius (By similarity). Plays a role in the perception of pain caused by heat (By similarity). Plays a role in the sensory perception of pain caused by pressure (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:G3V8V5, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88454, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22282805, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25471887, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25500157}. |Ion trans 2| |mechanosensitived potassium channel activity| |temperature-gated cation channel activity| |cellular response to alkaline pH| |detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch| |response to alkaline pH| |sensory perception of touch| |cellular response to temperature stimulus| |potassium channel complex| |potassium ion leak channel activity| |stabilization of membrane potential| |sensory perception of temperature stimulus| |cellular response to pH| |potassium channel activity| |detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception| |response to pH| |voltage-gated ion channel activity| |detection of mechanical stimulus| |cellular response to fatty acid| |sensory perception of pain| |cellular response to mechanical stimulus| |response to fatty acid| |memory| |detection of external stimulus| |detection of abiotic stimulus| |potassium ion transmembrane transport| |sensory perception of mechanical stimulus| |potassium ion transport| |response to temperature stimulus| |cellular response to acid chemical| |response to mechanical stimulus| |learning or memory| |cognition| |cellular response to environmental stimulus| |cellular response to abiotic stimulus| |cellular response to external stimulus| |response to acid chemical| |monovalent inorganic cation transport| |regulation of membrane potential| |regulation of ion transmembrane transport| |cellular response to lipid| |detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception| |inorganic cation transmembrane transport| |regulation of transmembrane transport| |behavior| |cation transmembrane transport| |metal ion transport| |inorganic ion transmembrane transport| |detection of stimulus| |regulation of ion transport| |cation transport| |response to lipid| |ion transmembrane transport| |sensory perception| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |response to abiotic stimulus| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |regulation of transport| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
