Large-conductance mechanosensitive channelMechanosensitive ion channels (MscL) play a critical role in transducing physical stresses at the cell membrane into an electrochemical response.[1] Additional recommended knowledgeMscL forms a channel organized as a homopentamer, with each subunit containing two transmembrane α-helices. Prokaryotes harbor a large-conductance mechanosensitive channel (gene mscL) that opens in response to stretch forces in the lipid bilayer and participate in the regulation of osmotic pressure within the cell.[2] See alsoReferences
