TMC1 and TMC2 Proteins Are Pore-Forming Subunits of Mechanosensitive Ion Channels

Transmembrane channel-like (TMC) 1 and 2 are required for the mechanotransduction of mouse inner ear hair cells and localize to the site of mechanotransduction in mouse hair cell stereocilia. However, it remains unclear whether TMC1 and TMC2 are indeed ion channels and whether they can sense mechani...
