Gelsolin plays a role in the actin polymerization complex of hair cell stereocilia.

Gelsolin plays a role in the actin polymerization complex of hair cell stereocilia.

A complex of proteins scaffolded by the PDZ protein, whirlin, reside at the stereocilia tip and are critical for stereocilia development and elongation. We have shown that in outer hair cells (OHCs) whirlin is part of a larger complex involving the MAGUK protein, p55, and protein 4.1R. Whirlin inter...
