Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Involved in several processes, including pexophagy; programmed cell death in response to reactive oxygen species; and regulation of peroxisome organization. Acts upstream of or within detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound and stereocilium maintenance. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; peroxisomal membrane; and stereocilium base. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 59. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 59. Orthologous to human PJVK (pejvakin).
