Enables collagen binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and myosin binding activity. Involved in hair cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including establishment of protein localization; inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation; and photoreceptor cell maintenance. Located in several cellular components, including periciliary membrane compartment; photoreceptor connecting cilium; and stereocilium membrane. Part of USH2 complex and stereocilia ankle link complex. Is expressed in sensory organ and testis. Used to study Usher syndrome type 2A.
