Cochlear melanocytes and MITF signaling.

The journal of investigative dermatology. Symposium proceedings - 1 Nov 2001

Tachibana M

Abstract excerpt

Melanocytes occur not only in the skin and eyes but in the cochlea, where they exist as intermediate cells of the stria vascularis. Intermediate cells play an important role for cochlear function: Na+K+-ATPase and potassium channels of intermediate cells are essential for production of endocochlear potential and for preparation of ionic milieu in the stria. Consistent with this notion, melanocyte deficiency due...
