About Whrn

Summary

This gene encodes a protein required for elongation and actin polymerization in the hair cell stereocilia. The encoded protein is localized to the cytoplasm and co-localizes with the growing end of actin filaments. Mutations in this gene have been linked to deafness. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]
