KCNK5 channels mostly expressed in cochlear outer sulcus cells are indispensable for hearing
In the cochlea, K(+) is essential for mechano-electrical transduction. Here, we explore cochlear structure and function in mice lacking K(+) channels of the two-pore domain family. A profound deafness associated with a decrease in endocochlear potential is found in adult Kcnk5(−/−) mice. Hearing occ...
