These delicate mechanoreceptors are generally found in the subcutaneous layer of the skin, where they are protected from the abuses which may occur at the surface. These receptors are used in human perception to detect surface roughness as the fingertips are dragged across a surface, or very small vibrations in machines.

Loss of DRASIC increased the sensitivity of mechanoreceptors detecting light touch, but it reduced the sensitivity of a mechanoreceptor responding to noxious pinch and decreased the response of acid- and noxious heat-sensitive nociceptors.
