Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 16; Required for proper hearing, it may play a role in maintaining the integrity of the tectorial membrane; Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CEA family (425 aa)

Small muscular protein; Plays a role in the regulatory network through which muscle cells coordinate their structural and functional states during growth, adaptation, and repair; Deafness associated genes (88 aa)

G-protein-signaling modulator 2; Plays an important role in mitotic spindle pole organization via its interaction with NUMA1. Required for cortical dynein- dynactin complex recruitment during metaphase. Plays a role in metaphase spindle orientation. Plays also an important role in asymmetric cell divisions. Has guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) activity towards G(i) alpha proteins, such as GNAI1 and GNAI3, and thereby regulates their activity (By similarity); Deafness associated genes (684 aa)

Monoacylglycerol lipase ABHD12; Lysophosphatidylserine (LPS) lipase that plays a key role in the central nervous system. Represents a major LPS lipase in the brain (By similarity). May also have a 2- arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) hydrolase activity and act as a regulator of endocannabinoid signaling pathways; Abhydrolase domain containing (404 aa)

Keratinocyte associated protein 3 (240 aa)

P2X purinoceptor 2; Ion channel gated by extracellular ATP involved in a variety of cellular responses, such as excitatory postsynaptic responses in sensory neurons, neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) formation, hearing, perception of taste and peristalsis. In the inner ear, regulates sound transduction and auditory neurotransmission, outer hair cell electromotility, inner ear gap junctions, and K(+) recycling. Mediates synaptic transmission between neurons and from neurons to smooth muscle; Deafness associated genes (497 aa)

GC-rich sequence DNA-binding factor 2; Factor that represses transcription. It binds to the GC- rich sequences (5’-GCGGGGC-3’) present in the epidermal growth factor receptor, beta-actin, and calcium-dependent protease promoters. Involved in pre-mRNA splicing through regulating spliceosome C complex formation. May play a role during late-stage splicing events and turnover of excised inrons; Belongs to the GCF family (781 aa)

DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1; Methylates CpG residues. Preferentially methylates hemimethylated DNA. Associates with DNA replication sites in S phase maintaining the methylation pattern in the newly synthesized strand, that is essential for epigenetic inheritance. Associates with chromatin during G2 and M phases to maintain DNA methylation independently of replication. It is responsible for maintaining methylation patterns established in development. DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones. Mediates transcriptional repression by direct binding to HDAC2. In a [...] (1632 aa)
