UniProtKB - Q27433 (MEC2_CAEEL)
Mechanosensory protein 2
mec-2
Functioni
Subunit of an amiloride-sensitive cation channel (degenerin channel complex) permeable for sodium, potassium, lithium and N-methylglucamine, and required for mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity) (PubMed:12478294).
Positively regulates the activity of the putative mechanosensory transduction channel. May link the mechanosensory channel and the microtubule cytoskeleton of the touch receptor neurons. Required for the function of a set of six touch receptor neurons.

Interactioni
Subunit structurei
Component of a non-voltage-gated amiloride-sensitive cation channel complex (also called the degenerin channel complex) composed of at least the mec-2, mec-4, mec-6 and mec-10 subunits; the complex mediates mechanotransduction in touch cells (PubMed:12478294).
Interacts with mec-6 and mec-4 (PubMed:12478294).
