Cadherins and mechanotransduction by hair cells.

Current opinion in cell biology - 1 Oct 2008

Müller Ulrich

Abstract excerpt

Mechanotransduction, the conversion of a mechanical stimulus into an electrical signal is crucial for our ability to hear and to maintain balance. Recent findings indicate that two members of the cadherin superfamily are components of the mechanotransduction machinery in sensory hair cells of the vertebrate inner ear. These studies show that cadherin 23 (CDH23) and protocadherin 15 (PCDH15) form several of the...
