About Tmc1

Summary

Enables voltage-gated Calcium Channel activity. Contributes to mechanosensitive ion channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including auditory receptor cell development; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound; and vestibular reflex. Located in external side of plasma membrane and stereocilium tip. Is expressed in sensory organ and skeleton. Used to study autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 36 and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 7. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 36; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 7; and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human TMC1 (transmembrane channel like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
