Enables identical protein binding activity and mechanosensitive cation channel activity. Involved in positive regulation of myotube differentiation. Acts upstream of or within cation transport; detection of mechanical stimulus; and regulation of membrane potential. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including hemolymphoid system; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis 1 and hereditary lymphedema. Orthologous to human PIEZO1 (piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
