The Hv1 proton channel responds to mechanical stimuli
Hv1 is a voltage-gated proton channel that is composed of two voltage-sensing domains, each of which is permeable to protons. Pathak et al. find that these voltage-sensing domains are mechanosensitive and that membrane stretch results in a long-lived facilitation of Hv1 activation.
