High impact information on rdx
- When used in immunocytochemical studies of isolated hair cells, anti-radixin produced an intense band of labeling at the bases of hair bundles from the chicken, frog, mouse, and zebrafish [1].
- Radixin is thus a prominent constituent of stereocilia, where it may participate in anchoring the "pointed" ends of actin filaments to the membrane [1].
Anatomical context of rdx
- Radixin is a constituent of stereocilia in hair cells [1].
Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of rdx
- Electron microscopic immunocytochemistry disclosed that radixin labeling commenced in the stereociliary taper, peaked in the lower stereociliary shaft, and declined progressively toward the hair bundle's top [1].
