Functional role
Inner ear[26]RatMarginal cells of the stria vascularis and spiral ganglion neuronsRegulates endolymph homeostasis by controlling Na+/K+-ATPase activity
Inner ear[27,28]Guinea pigLateral wall of the cochlea basal turn and the ampullae of the semicircular canalsND
Inner ear[29]MouseAmpulla epithelial cells of semicircular canalExpressed functional MR and 11β-HSD2; promoted Na+ absorption and K+ secretion through the IsK/KvLQT1 channel
