[5] It has a homotrimeric structure, with three blades curving into a nano-dome, with a diameter of 28 nanometers.

The PIEZO2 protein has a role in rapidly adapting mechanically activated (MA) currents in somatosensory neurons.

[7] Its structure is resolved via a mouse version in 2019, showing the predicted homotrimeric propeller.
