XIRP2, an Actin-Binding Protein Essential for Inner Ear Hair-Cell Stereocilia

Hair cells of the inner ear are mechanoreceptors for hearing and balance, and proteins highly enriched in hair cells may have specific roles in the development and maintenance of the mechanotransduction apparatus. We identified XIRP2/mXinβ as an enriched protein likely to be essential for hair cells...
