Piezo proteins constitute a family of excitatory [[ion channels]] directly gated by mechanical forces. Piezo is functionally conserved and very important because all living organisms are subjected to mechanical forces from their environment for instance [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception proprioception], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmoregulation osmoregulation], vascular tone, | Piezo proteins constitute a family of excitatory [[ion channels]] directly gated by mechanical forces.
