Fascin 2b is a component of stereocilia that lengthens actin-based protrusions.

Fascin 2b is a component of stereocilia that lengthens actin-based protrusions.

Stereocilia are actin-filled protrusions that permit mechanotransduction in the internal ear. To identify proteins that organize the cytoskeleton of stereocilia, we scrutinized the hair-cell transcriptome of zebrafish. One promising candidate encodes fascin 2b, a filamentous actin-bundling protein f...
