Molecular bases of K(+) secretory cells in the inner ear: shared and distinct features between birds and mammals

In the cochlea, mammals maintain a uniquely high endolymphatic potential (EP), which is not observed in other vertebrate groups. However, a high [K(+)] is always present in the inner ear endolymph.
