Alpha-Tectorin

We report on a secreted protein found in mammalian cochlear outer hair cells (OHC) that is a member of the carcinoembryonic… Expand

An audioprofile displays phenotypic data from several audiograms on a single graph that share a common genotype. In this report… Expand

The ultrastructure and molecular composition of the extracellular matrices that are associated with the apical surfaces of the… Expand

The genes for α- and β-tectorin encode the major non-collagenous proteins of the tectorial membrane. Recently, a targeted… Expand

alpha-tectorin is an extracellular matrix molecule of the inner ear. Mice homozygous for a targeted deletion in a-tectorin have… Expand

In our efforts to identify new loci responsible for non-syndromic autosomal recessive forms of deafness, DFNB loci, we have… Expand

The tectorial and otolithic membranes are extracellular matrices that cover the sensory epithelia of the inner ear. They are… Expand

The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory… Expand

alpha-Tectorin is one of the major noncollagenous components of the mammalian tectorial membrane in the inner ear. We have mapped… Expand
