OTOL1 otolin 1

Gene ID: 131149, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: C1QTNF15; C1QTNF16

Summary

This gene encodes a secreted glycoprotein with a C-terminal complement Cq1-like globular domain that belongs to the C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein (CTRP) family. The encoded protein is expressed in the inner ear and forms a multimeric complex called the otoconia, together with cerebellin-1 and otoconin-90, as part of the otoconial membrane. It contains extensive posttranslational modifications including hydroxylated prolines and glycosylated lysines. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with abnormal otoconia formation and balance deficits resulting from vestibular dysfunction. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
