Tecta - tectorin alpha

Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Predicted to be involved in cell-matrix adhesion and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to be located in extracellular matrix. 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, Apr 2022]
