dc.description.abstractTouch sensation or proprioception requires the transduction of
mechanical stimuli into electrical signals by mechanoreceptors in the
periphery. These mechanoreceptors are equipped with various transducer
channels. Although Piezo1 and 2 are mechanically activated (MA) channels
with rapid inactivation, MA molecules with other inactivation kinetics have
not been identified. Here we report that heterologously expressed
Tentonin3 (TTN3)/TMEM150C is activated by mechanical stimuli with
distinctly slow inactivation kinetics. Genetic ablation of Ttn3/Tmem150c
markedly reduced slowly adapting neurons in dorsal-root ganglion neurons.
The mechanically-activated TTN3 currents were inhibited by knownblockers
of mechanosensitive ion channels. Moreover, TTN3 was localized
in muscle spindle afferents. Ttn3-deficient mice exhibited the loss of
