Tprn Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables actin binding activity and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in sensory perception of sound and stereocilium maintenance. Acts upstream of or within auditory receptor cell stereocilium organization. Located in microvillus and stereocilium base. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; respiratory system; and submandibular gland. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 79. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 79. Orthologous to human TPRN (taperin).

Protein Domains
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 Tprn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

- type 1 serine/threonine specific protein phosphatase inhibitor
- Phostensin PP1-binding and SH3-binding region
- actin binding
