Predicted to enable mechanosensitive ion channel activity and voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound and vestibular reflex. Predicted to act upstream of or within calcium ion transmembrane transport and regulation of calcium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in stereocilium tip. Orthologous to human TMC2 (transmembrane channel like 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
