SMPX small muscle protein X-linked

Gene ID: 23676, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Csl; DFN6; MPD7; DFNX4; Chisel

Summary

This gene encodes a small protein that has no known functional domains. Mutations in this gene are a cause of X-linked deafness-4, and the encoded protein may play a role in the maintenance of inner ear cells subjected to mechanical stress. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
