Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in inner ear receptor cell stereocilium organization; sensory perception of sound; and vestibular receptor cell development. Acts upstream of or within cochlea development and inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation. Located in kinocilium and stereocilium. Is expressed in endolymphatic duct; inner ear vestibular component; and utricle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 25. Orthologous to human GRXCR1 (glutaredoxin and cysteine rich domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutations at this locus result in circling and head tossing behavior, and impaired hearing.
