Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Prestin.
SLC26A5 is a member of the SLC26A/SulP transporter family. SLC26A5 is specifically expressed in outer hair cells (OHCs) of the cochlea and is essential in auditory processing. Intracellular anions are thought to act as extrinsic voltage sensors, which bind to this protein and trigger the conformational changes required for rapid length changes in OHCs. Mutations in its gene have been associated with non-syndromic hearing loss.This gene is a member of the SLC26A/SulP transporter family.

Mutations in this gene have been associated with non-syndromic hearing loss. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
