Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Predicted to enable chloride channel activity. Involved in inner ear receptor cell stereocilium organization and protein localization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including auditory receptor cell stereocilium organization; diet induced thermogenesis; and sensory perception of sound. Located in stereocilium base. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; inner ear; lung; male reproductive gland or organ; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 103. Orthologous to human CLIC5 (chloride intracellular channel 5).
