    Summary
    An extracellular matrix structural constituent. Acts upstream of or within auditory receptor cell stereocilium organization. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in inner ear. Used to study autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 12. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 12; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 21; and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human TECTA (tectorin alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
