Involved in inner ear receptor cell stereocilium organization; sensory perception of sound; and vestibular receptor cell development. Acts upstream of or within cochlea development and inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation. Located in kinocilium and stereocilium. Is expressed in endolymphatic duct; inner ear vestibular component; and utricle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 25.
