“…CDH23 and PCDH15 are expressed in developing bundles, where they localize to transient lateral and kinocilial links [51,56,75,101,104]. Developing hair bundles also express a harmonin splice variant, harmonin-b (HARMb), in the stereocilia upper tip-link density (UTLD), and HARMb [69], Myo15 sh2/sh2 (B) [93], [107], Ush1g js/js (D) [54] and Myo6 rsv/rsv (E) mice [77]. binds CDH23, PCDH15, and F-actin, suggesting that HARMb establishes a connection between cadherins and F-actin [2,11,101,103].…”
