Immunohistochemical localization of G protein βγ subunits in the lateral wall of the rat cochlea

Abstract: The role of G protein-mediated signal transduction in the production of endolymph, an extracellular fluid of unusual ionic composition, is beginning to be understood. The identity of G α subunits in the stria vascularis and the spiral ligament of the lateral wall of the cochlear duct is well established. However, little is known about the presence of βγ subunits. This study used immunohistochemistry to investigate the distribution of G protein βγ subunits in the lateral wall of the cochlea. Temporal bones of 6… Show more

“…1), it is interesting to note that γ3 protein was not detected in the lateral chochlear wall of the adult rat (Khan et al, 2006). Rather than differences in staining between two closely related species, this discrepancy is likely a sensitivity issue between the immunocytochemistry methodology used by Khan et al (2006), PCR in the study by Barritt et al (1999) and in situ hybridization used in this study. Detailed analysis from cryosectioned material also showed γ3 expression in the nose (Fig.…”
