Broken force dispersal network in tip-links by the mutations induces hearing-loss
2019-04-19
Abstract excerpt
Tip-link as force-sensor in the hearing conveys the mechanical force originating from sound to ion-channels while maintaining the integrity of the entire sensory assembly in inner-ear. This delicate balance between structure and function of tip-links is regulated by Ca 2+ -ions present in endolymph. Mutations at the Ca 2+ -binding sites of tip-links often lead to congenital deafness, sometimes syndromic defects...
