Coch - cochlin Gene

Predicted to enable Collagen binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of cell shape. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to bacterium; positive regulation of innate immune response; and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to be located in extracellular matrix and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 9 and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 110. Orthologous to human COCH (cochlin).
