Pejvakin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PJVK gene. [5]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the gasdermin family, a family which is found only in vertebrates. The encoded protein is required for the proper function of auditory pathway neurons. Defects in this gene are a cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 59 (DFNB59). [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008].
The CLCN family of voltage-dependent chloride channel genes comprises nine members which demonstrate quite diverse functional characteristics while sharing significant sequence homology. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the electric excitability of the skeletal muscle membrane. Mutations in this gene cause two forms of inherited human muscle disorders: recessive generalized myotonia congenita (Becker) and dominant myotonia (Thomsen).
Usherin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the USH2A gene.
Cadherin-23 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH23 gene.
Wolframin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WFS1 gene.
Gap junction beta-3 protein (GJB3), also known as connexin 31 (Cx31) — is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJB3 gene.
Crumbs homolog 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRB1 gene.
Transmembrane protease, serine 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TMPRSS3 gene.
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 4, also known as voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv7.4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNQ4 gene.
TRIO and F-actin-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRIOBP gene.
Alpha-tectorin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TECTA gene.
Eyes absent homolog 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EYA4 gene.
Otoferlin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OTOF gene.
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.
Stereocilin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STRC gene.
Myosin-XV is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYO15A gene.
Coiled-coil and C2 domain-containing protein 2A that in humans is encoded by the CC2D2A gene.
Espin, also known as autosomal recessive deafness type 36 protein or ectoplasmic specialization protein, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ESPN gene. Espin is a microfilament binding protein.
Lipoxygenase homology domains 1 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the LOXHD1 gene.
Leucine rich transmembrane and O-methyltransferase domain containing is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRTOMT gene.
Otogelin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OTOG gene.
