A novel theoretical framework reveals more than one voltage-sensing pathway in the lateral membrane of outer hair cells

Outer hair cell (OHC) electromotility amplifies acoustic vibrations throughout the frequency range of hearing. Electromotility requires that the lateral membrane protein prestin undergo a conformational change upon changes in the membrane potential to produce an associated displacement charge. The m...
