| Function |
Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells. CDH23 is required for establishing and/or maintaining the proper organization of the stereocilia bundle of hair cells in the cochlea and the vestibule during late embryonic/early postnatal development. It is part of the functional network formed by USH1C, USH1G, CDH23 and MYO7A that mediates mechanotransduction in cochlear hair cells. Required for normal hearing.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Particularly strong expression in the retina. Found also in the cochlea.
