| Primary Identifier | MGI:1202064 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 18419 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables structural molecule activity. Acts upstream of or within adult locomotory behavior and sensory perception of sound. Located in cytosol and extracellular matrix. Is expressed in inner ear. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 18B. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 18B. Orthologous to human OTOG (otogelin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a number of different spontaneous and targeted mutations exhibit vestibular dysfunction, including circling, head tilt, impaired balance, coordination, and placing response. Mutants have impaired hearing, decreased brain stem auditory evoked potential, and ear abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
