Abstract excerpt
Oncomodulin (OCM) is the most abundant Ca2+ buffering protein found in mature outer hair cells (OHCs). Cadherin 23 (CDH23) is a crucial component of the tip-links in hair cell stereocilia. The absence or dysfunction of these two proteins contributes to the early onset of age-related hearing loss (AHL). In this study, we investigated the effects of the Cdh23753G→A mutation on OHC function using new Ocm-knockout...
