OTOGL otogelin like

Gene ID: 283310, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DFNB84B; C12orf64

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the otogelin family. This gene is expressed in the inner ear of vertebrates with the highest level of expression seen at the embryonic stage and lowest in adult. Knockdown studies in zebrafish suggest that this gene is essential for normal inner ear function. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive deafness.
