Non-syndromic hearing impairment protein 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DFNA5 gene. [5] [6] [7]

Contents

Function

Hearing impairment is a heterogeneous condition with over 40 loci described. The protein encoded by this gene is expressed in fetal cochlea, however, its function is not known. Nonsyndromic hearing impairment is associated with a mutation in this gene. [7]

The observation that DFNA5 is epigenetically inactivated in a large number of cancers of frequent types (gastric, colorectal, and breast) is another important finding and is in line with its apoptosis-inducing properties. Indeed, if apoptosis is an intrinsic feature of DFNA5, shutting the gene down in tumor cells makes them more susceptible to uncontrolled cellular growth. Moreover, the fact that DFNA5 is regulated by P53 strongly suggests that DFNA5 is a tumor suppressor gene. [8]

Transmembrane channel-like protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMC1 gene. TMC1 contains six transmembrane domains with both the C and N termini on the endoplasmic side of the membrane, as well as a large loop between domains 4 and 5. This topology is similar to that of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs), a family of proteins involved in the perception of senses such as temperature, taste, pressure, and vision. TMC1 has been located in the post-natal mouse cochlea, and knockouts for TMC1 and TMC2 result in both auditory and vestibular deficits indicating TMC1 is a molecular part of auditory transduction.
