Abstract
- The article focuses on a study conducted by researcher Matthias Heidenreich and colleagues on tuning of mechanoreceptors by mutations inactivating the potassium channel KCNQ4. In the study, KCNQ4 is found in the peripheral nerve endings of hair follicle from mice and humans and explains touch sensitivity in mice and humans and describes gene mutation which establishes KCNQ4 as a molecular marker and modulates touch sensitivity in humans and mice.
