Differentiation and functioning of the lateral line organ in zebrafish require Smpx activity
Abstract The small muscle protein, X-linked (SMPX) gene encodes a cytoskeleton-associated protein, highly expressed in the inner ear hair cells (HCs), possibly regulating auditory function. In the last decade, several mutations in SMPX have been associated with X-chromosomal progressive non syndromi...
