Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 17910 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and microfilament motor activity. Acts upstream of or within inner ear morphogenesis; locomotory behavior; and sensory perception of sound. Located in stereocilium. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; heart; inner ear; liver; and metanephros. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 3 and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human MYO15A (myosin XVA). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene result in profound deafness and neurological behavior. [provided by MGI curators] |
