Tprn - taperin

Predicted to enable phosphatase binding activity. Involved in sensory perception of sound and stereocilium maintenance. Acts upstream of or within auditory receptor cell stereocilium organization. Located in stereocilium base. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; immune system; reproductive system; respiratory system; and submandibular gland. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 79. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 79. Orthologous to human TPRN (taperin).
