Tonotopic Specialization of MYO7A Isoforms in Auditory Hair Cells
2025-04-03
Abstract excerpt
1. Mutations in Myo7a cause Usher syndrome type 1B and non-syndromic deafness, but the precise function of MYO7A in sensory hair cells remains unclear. We identify and characterize a novel isoform, MYO7A-N, expressed in auditory hair cells alongside the canonical MYO7A-C. Isoform-specific knock-in mice reveal that inner hair cells primarily express MYO7A-C, while outer hair cells express both isoforms in opposing...
