Ush1c

Predicted to enable myosin tail binding activity and spectrin binding activity. Involved in brush border assembly; protein localization to microvillus; and regulation of microvillus length. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including inner ear development; parallel actin filament bundle assembly; and sensory perception of sound. Located in several cellular components, including brush border; photoreceptor inner segment; and upper tip-link density. Is active in stereocilium. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cochlea; genitourinary system; heart; and lung epithelium. Used to study Usher syndrome type 1C and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 18A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Usher syndrome; Usher syndrome type 1; Usher syndrome type 1C; and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 18A. Orthologous to human USH1C (USH1 protein network component harmonin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ush1c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
