Immunohistochemistry localises myosin-7a to cochlear efferent boutons

2022-02-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Myosin 7a is an actin-binding motor protein involved in the formation of hair-cell stereocilia both in the cochlea and in the vestibular system. Mutations in myosin 7a are linked to congenital hearing loss and are present in 50% of Type-1 Usher syndrome patients who suffer from progressive hearing loss and vestibular system dysfunction. <h4>Methods: </h4>: Myosin 7a is often used to visualis...
