Lhfpl5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to act upstream of or within auditory receptor cell stereocilium organization and detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane and stereocilium tip. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 67. Orthologous to human LHFPL5 (LHFPL tetraspan subfamily member 5).

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 rat Lhfpl5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
