Prestin’s fast motor kinetics is essential for mammalian cochlear amplification

Prestin (SLC26A5)-mediated voltage-driven elongations and contractions of sensory outer hair cells within the organ of Corti are essential for mammalian cochlear amplification. However, whether this electromotile activity directly contributes on a cycle-by-cycle basis is currently controversial. By...
