DFNA5,ICERE1,Non-syndromic hearing impairment protein 5,Inversely correlated with estrogen receptor expression 1,ICERE-1
Cell localization:Membrane, Cytoplasm.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. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, JµL 2008],
