Cell-cell junctions in the cochlea are highly complex and well organized. The role of these junctions is to maintain structural and functional integrity of the cochlea. In this review, we describe classification of cell junction-associated proteins identified within the cochlea and provide a brief overview of the function of these proteins in adherent junctions, gap junctions and tight junctions.
耳蜗中的细胞间连接高度复杂且组织有序。这些连接的作用是维持耳蜗的结构和功能完整性。在本综述中,我们描述了在耳蜗中鉴定出的细胞连接相关蛋白的分类,并简要概述了这些蛋白在黏附连接、缝隙连接和紧密连接中的功能。
