Also Known as USH1M; DFNB36; LP2654
Species: Homo sapiens
About ESPN
This gene has 16 transcripts (splice variants), 199 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 5 phenotypes. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 9.0), skin (RPKM 5.5) and 8 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a multifunctional actin-bundling protein. It plays a major role in regulating the organization, dimensions, dynamics, and signaling capacities of the actin filament-rich, microvillus-type specializations that mediate sensory transduction in various mechanosensory and chemosensory cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive neurosensory deafness, and autosomal dominant sensorineural deafness without vestibular involvement. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
