Primary Identifier | MGI:1891247 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 83762 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables AP-2 adaptor complex binding activity and calcium ion binding activity. Involved in synaptic vesicle priming. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is active in cochlear hair cell ribbon synapse and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in brain; pons mantle layer; and rest of cerebellum ventricular layer. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 9. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 9. Orthologous to human OTOF (otoferlin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants have no detectable auditory brainstem response at any frequency tested. Otoacoustic transmission distortion products are detected. Direct electrical stimulation of cochlear ganglia elicits brainstem responses. On depolarization, inner hair cells release almost no neurotransmitter. [provided by MGI curators] |
