GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
LHFPL5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DFNB67, dJ510O8.8, MGC33835, Tmhs
Description
Lipoma HMGIC fusion partner-like 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the lipoma HMGIC fusion partner (LHFP) gene family, which is a subset of the superfamily of tetraspan transmembrane protein encoding genes. Mutations in this gene result in deafness in humans, and a mutation in a similar gene in mice results in deafness and vestibular dysfunction with severe degeneration of the organ of Corti. It is proposed to function in hair bundle morphogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
