Background
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the otogelin family. This gene is expressed in the inner ear of vertebrates with the highest level of expression seen at the embryonic stage and lowest in adult. Knockdown studies in zebrafish suggest that this gene is essential for normal inner ear function. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive deafness.

Tissue expression
Expressed at high levels in fetal inner ear and heart. Low levels in fetal skeletal muscle, kidney, spleen and colon. Not detected in fetal liver, lung, brain, nor in fetal stomach. In adult tissues, highest levels in brain, kidney, heart and retina. Relatively low levels in lung, spleen and duodenum. Not detected in adult skeletal muscle, liver, nor testis.
