MscS and MscL are mechanosensitive channels that ... O open at the same osmotic pressure, but differ in their ion selectivity. All of these statements describe MscS/MscL. O open in response to membrane tension. O are highly ion selective. O constitute the majority of channel proteins in the plasma membrane of auditory hair cells in the human cochlea.
