MU33, an antibody to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), was used to investigate the magnitude of CGRP-containing nerve fiber endings, compared to acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-containing nerve fiber endings on outer hair cells (OHCs). Results showed that CGRP-containing nerve fiber immunoreactivity mimicked the AChE fiber OHC staining pattern across the cochlea suggesting that CGRP can function as both a medial efferent (contacting primarily OHCs) and as a lateral efferent (contacting primarily inner hair cell afferents) neurotransmitter.
