Example Sentences

The CPD gene normally produces an enzyme responsible for generating the amino acid arginine, which then helps create nitric oxide, a key neurotransmitter involved in nerve signaling.

From Science Daily

In the inner ear, mutations in CPD disrupted this process, triggering oxidative stress and the death of delicate sensory hair cells that detect sound vibrations.

From Science Daily

"It turns out that CPD maintains the level of arginine in the hair cells to allow a quick signaling cascade by generating nitric oxide," Zhai explained.

From Science Daily

"And that's why, although it's expressed ubiquitously in other cells throughout the nervous system, these hair cells in particular are more sensitive or vulnerable to the loss of CPD."

From Science Daily

Although the study focused on individuals with a rare combination of mutations to the CPD gene, there could be broader implications if single mutations are linked to age-related hearing loss, she added.
