It is prposed that this protein is involved in the attachment of the inner ear acellular gels to the apical surface of the underlying nonsensory cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive deafness type 22 (DFNB22). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]. * **UniProt Summary**: May act as an adhesion molecule. No Pfam Domain information is available for this gene. |transmission of nerve impulse| |anchored component of membrane| |cell-matrix adhesion| |multicellular organismal signaling| |sensory perception of sound| |sensory perception of mechanical stimulus| |cell-substrate adhesion| |apical plasma membrane| |cell surface| |cell adhesion| |biological adhesion| |sensory perception| |nervous system process| |extracellular region| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
