| Bioactivity | Jedi2 is a Piezo1 activator, but not a specific Piezo2 activator. Jedi2 binds to the mouse Piezo1 proteins with a Kd of 2770 μM[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Jedi2 evokes Piezo1-mediated Ca2+ influx. Jedi2 (200 μM) specifically elicits dose-dependent responses in mPiezo1-transfected cells, but not in mPiezo2- or vector-transfected cells [1]. Jedi2 (1 mM) causes an increase in Ca2+ in mCherry-positive HEK293T cells transfected with the mPiezo1-mCherry construct, which also responded to Yoda1 (30 μM) [1]. | ||||||||||||
