The expression of atrial natriuretic peptide receptor in the mouse inner ear labyrinth.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the relative expression levels of NPR-A mRNA in the stria vascularis (StV), nonstrial tissue of the cochlear lateral wall (NSt) and vestibula in the mouse inner ear to determine the potential contribution of ANP signaling in different parts to inner ear fluid homeostasis.

SETTING: Atrial nat.....
