Radixin modulates the function of outer hair cell stereocilia
Sonal Prasad et al. identify several mutations in the radixin (RDX) gene that are associated with early-life hearing loss. Using a guinea pig model, they propose that radixin helps convert sound into electrical signals in the mature inner ear.
