Figure 6. Distribution of NMHC-IIA within the mitochondria of mammalian cochlear hair cells.

Figure 6

A schematic depiction of NMHC-IIa distribution within the mitochondria of cochlear hair cells. The schematic in the left half of the panel depicts the body of a sensory hair cell with the characteristic alignment of mitochondria along its lateral membrane. The bracketed region within the schematic is magnified in the right half of the panel and depicts the distribution of NMHC-IIa within the different morphological regions (sub-domains) of the mitochondria. Note that NMHC-IIa is localized predominantly along the inner membrane.
