Function
Pore-forming subunit of a mechanosensitive non-specific cation channel (By similarity). Generates currents characterized by a linear current-voltage relationship (By similarity). Plays a role in reproduction by positively regulating inter-tissue signaling to promote oocyte maturation; ovulation and fertilization; and sperm navigation from and to the spermatheca. May play a role in regulating cytosolic and endoplasmic reticulum calcium ion release.

Location
Expressed in the pharyngeal-intestinal and spermathecal-uterine valves and in multiple reproductive tissues including the germline; somatic oviduct; and spermatheca (PubMed:32490809). During reproduction; it is expressed in sheath cells; sperm; both spermathecal valves and the spermathecal bag cells (PubMed:32490809).
