Chloride binding to prestin does not influence very high-frequency complex nonlinear capacitance (cNLC) in the mouse outer hair cell

This study shows chloride binding does not affect very high-frequency nonlinear capacitance in mouse outer hair cells, suggesting mechanical loads, not anion interactions, govern high-frequency prestin function.

Ultrasonic measures of prestin (SLC26a5) charge movements in membrane patches.

This study uses megahertz sampling to measure prestin charge movements in the ultrasonic range, finding a lower frequency roll-off and confirming a cut-off frequency near 19 kHz.
