Abstract

Investigates reciprocal electromechanical properties of the rat homologue of prestin, a protein with similarity to pendrin-related anion transporters. Unique property of outer hair cells of the mammalian cohclea; Mechanical force generated by prestin in response to electrical stimulation; Mechanoelectrical properties of prestin.
