TMC2 - transmembrane channel like 2 Gene
Also Known as C20orf145
Species: Homo sapiens
About TMC2
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 264 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is necesssary for mechanotransduction in cochlear hair cells of the inner ear. Mutations in this gene may underlie hereditary disorders of balance and hearing. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
