References 141The skin is our largest sensory organ and required for the perception of the outside world using our sense of touch and pain. The underlying mechanism is called mechanotransduction but at the molecular level this process is still poorly understood. We wish to identify new molecular components involved in sensory neuron mechanotransduction in mammals. In this study, two proteins, namely stomatin-like protein 3 (SLP3) and paraoxonase have been investigated for their role in cutaneous mechanosensation in mice. SLP3 and paraoxonase are homologues of C. elegans MEC-2 and M...
