Abstract
The motor protein prestin confers sensitive and selective hearing in mammals. Remarkably, prestin amino-acid sequences of echolocating dolphins have converged to resemble those of distantly related echolocating bats.
摘要
运动蛋白 prestin 赋予哺乳动物灵敏且有选择性的听力。值得注意的是，回声定位海豚的 prestin 氨基酸序列趋同于亲缘关系较远的回声定位蝙蝠。
