Abstract excerpt
Mechanical stimuli caused by sound waves are detected by hair cells in the cochlea through the opening of mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) channels. Transmembrane channel-like protein 1 (TMC1) has been revealed to be the pore-forming component of the MET channel. The two splice variants for mouse Tmc1 (mTmc1ex1 and mTmc1ex2) were reported to be expressed in the cochlea of infant mice, though only the sequence...
