Function One of the major non-collagenous components of the tectorial membrane (By similarity). The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that covers the neuroepithelium of the cochlea and contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Localization Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000305}; Extracellular side {ECO:0000305}. Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Note=Found in the non-collagenous matrix of the tectorial membrane. {ECO:0000250}.
Disease Associations Deafness, autosomal dominant, 12 (DFNA12) [MIM:601543]: A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10196713, ECO:0000269PubMed:10987647, ECO:0000269PubMed:12162770, ECO:0000269PubMed:15319541, ECO:0000269PubMed:16718611, ECO:0000269PubMed:17661817, ECO:0000269PubMed:20947814, ECO:0000269PubMed:21520338, ECO:0000269PubMed:9590290}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Deafness, autosomal recessive, 21 (DFNB21) [MIM:603629]: A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12746400, ECO:0000269PubMed:9949200}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
