This study provides evidence that the activity of renal non-selective stretch-activated ion channels (SACs) depends on Piezo1 but is negatively regulated by Polycystin-2 (PC2). PC2 co-immunoprecipitates with Piezo1 and deletion of its N-terminal domain prevents both this interaction and inhibition of SAC activity.
