description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within sensory perception of sound. Located in stereocilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 77; and orofacial cleft.
