CEACAM16 CEA cell adhesion molecule 16, tectorial membrane component

Gene ID: 388551, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CEAL2; DFNA4B; DFNB113

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted glycoprotein that in mouse interacts with tectorial membrane proteins in the inner ear. The encoded adhesion protein is found in cochlear outer hair cells and appears to be important for proper hearing over an extended frequency range. Defects in this gene likely are a cause of non-syndromic autosomal dominant hearing loss. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]
