| Primary Identifier | MGI:97401 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 18261 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in response to wounding. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cuticular plate; extracellular space; and stereocilium. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in crista ampullaris and utricle. Orthologous to human OCM (oncomodulin) and OCM2 (oncomodulin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit deafness and degeneration of inner and outer cochlear hair cells and pillar cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
