Function
Probable serine protease that plays a role in hearing. Acts as a permissive factor for cochlear hair cell survival and activation at the onset of hearing and is required for saccular hair cell survival. Activates ENaC (in vitro).
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Single-pass type II membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in many tissues including fetal cochlea. Isoform T is found at increased levels in some carcinomas
Disease Association: Deafness, autosomal recessive, 8 (DFNB8) : A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
