Outer Hair Cell Lateral Wall Structure Constrains the Mobility of Plasma Membrane Proteins.

Outer Hair Cell Lateral Wall Structure Constrains the Mobility of Plasma Membrane Proteins.

Nature's fastest motors are the cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs). These sensory cells use a membrane protein, Slc26a5 (prestin), to generate mechanical force at high frequencies, which is essential for explaining the exquisite hearing sensitivity of mammalian ears. Previous studies suggest that...
