Grxcr2 is required for stereocilia morphogenesis in the cochlea.
Hearing and balance depend upon the precise morphogenesis and mechanosensory function of stereocilia, the specialized structures on the apical surface of sensory hair cells in the inner ear.Previous studies of Grxcr1 mutant mice indicated citronella horse shampoo a critical role for this gene in control of stereocilia dimensions during development.
