Tricellular adherens junctions provide a cell surface delivery platform for connexin 26/30 oligomers in the cochlea
{{output}}
In the cochlea, connexins 26 (Cx26) and 30 (Cx30) largely co-assemble into heteromeric gap junctions, which connect adjacent non-sensory epithelial cells. These channels are believed to ensure the rapid removal of K+ away from the base of sensory hair cells, r... ...
