Microtubule-associated protein 1 A and tubby act independently in regulating the localization of stereocilin to the tips of inner ear hair cell stereocilia
Tubby mice exhibit hearing impairment due to the loss of stereocilin from the tip regions that connect the tallest stereocilia of the outer hair cells (OHCs) to the tectorial membrane. Stereocilin is an essentia...
