Mammalian TMC Family Proteins are Mechanically Gated Ion Channels
Every known life form senses and reacts to mechanical forces. These mechanical stimuli can be converted into electrical signals by mechanically gated ion channels, a transduction cascade pivotal to numerous physiological functions including touch, hearing, mechanical pain, circulation, gastrointestinal function, and mechanical loading in various tissues. Despite continuous efforts, numerous…
