| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Involved in auditory receptor cell stereocilium organization. Acts upstream of or within inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation; sensory perception of sound; and stereocilium maintenance. Located in stereocilium bundle. Is expressed in cochlea; cochlear duct; eye; and inner ear. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness. Orthologous to human CLRN2 (clarin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit nonsyndromic progressive hearing loss with a lack of fast-graded voltage responses. [provided by MGI curators] |
