| Research Abstract |
The endolymphatic sac is believed to absorb the endolymph. This study focused on the ion transport control system in the endolymphatic sac. FXYD6 is a control factor of Na pump, and Na pump in the endolymphatic sac may produce Na+ driving force. We confirmed FXYD6 mRNA and protein expression in the endolymphatic sac by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. This results suggested that FXYD6 may control the ion transport in the endolymphatic sac.
