| Primary Identifier | MGI:1341292 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 22283 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables collagen binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and myosin binding activity. Involved in hair cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including establishment of protein localization; inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation; and photoreceptor cell maintenance. Located in several cellular components, including periciliary membrane compartment; photoreceptor connecting cilium; and stereocilium membrane. Part of USH2 complex and stereocilia ankle link complex. Is expressed in sensory organ and testis. Used to study Usher syndrome type 2A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Usher syndrome (multiple); nonsyndromic deafness; and retinitis pigmentosa (multiple). Orthologous to human USH2A (usherin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display progressive retinal photoreceptor degeneration along with significantly reduced a- and b-wave amplitudes, and a moderate but nonprogressive high-frequency hearing loss associated with widespread loss of outer hair cells in the basal turn of the cochlea.
