DOWNSLOPING HIGH-FREQUENCY HEARING LOSS DUE TO INNER EAR TRICELLULAR TIGHT JUNCTION DISRUPTION BY A NOVEL ILDR1 MUTATION IN THE IG-LIKE DOMAIN.

Downsloping high-frequency hearing loss due to inner ear tricellular tight junction disruption by a novel ILDR1 mutation in the Ig-like domain.

The immunoglobulin ENZYME FORCE (Ig)-like domain containing receptor 1 (ILDR1) gene encodes angulin-2/ILDR1, a recently discovered tight junction protein, which forms tricellular tight junction (tTJ) structures with tricellulin and lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) at tricellular contacts (TCs) in the inner ear.Previously reported rec

Transcriptome analysis of inseminated sperm storage tubules throughout the duration of fertility in the domestic turkey, Meleagris gallopavo

ABSTRACT: Sperm storage tubules (SST) are specialized invaginations of the oviductal epithelium that permit avian species to store spermatozoa for extended periods of time, without compromising sperm fertilization capacity.The molecular and physiological mechanisms behind sperm storage tubule differentiation, sperm protection, and regression remain
