[Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the eyes absent (EYA) family of proteins. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional activator through its protein phosphatase activity, and it may be important for eye development, and for continued function of the mature organ of Corti. Mutations in this gene are associated with postlingual, progressive, autosomal dominant hearing loss at the deafness, autosomal dominant nonsyndromic sensorineural 10 locus. Defects in this gene are also associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1J. Three transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]Summary text based on GO annotations supported by experimental evidence in mouse
Researchers have inferred, based on phenotypic analysis of mouse mutants, that the gene product of Eya4
participates in the following biological processes:
Annotations directly to for the gene Eya4 indicate that MGI curators have found no experimental data [literature] to support further annotation to this category at this time.
