| Primary Identifier | MGI:2149209 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 246190 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Acts upstream of or within cell-matrix adhesion; sensory perception of sound; and transmission of nerve impulse. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in inner ear; male reproductive gland or organ; small intestine; and trachea. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 22. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 22. Orthologous to human OTOA (otoancorin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit hearing loss, detachment of the tectorial membrane from the spiral limbus, abnormal tectorial membrane morphology, absence of Hensen's stripe and increased cochlear nerve coumpond action potential threshold.
