epitope corresponding to amino acids 1791-2090 mapping near the C-terminus of α-tectorin of human origin
Modification Notes
å-tectorin (also designated TECTA) is an important non-collagenous component of the tectorial membrane which is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear. The tectorial membrane covers the cochleas neuroepithelium and contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound gets transduced into electrical signals by the movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane as the stereocilia deflect and cause fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential. The å-tectorin protein can form homomeric or heteromeric filaments after self-association or association with beta-tectorin, respectively. Mutations in the å-tectorin gene can cause autosomal dominant non-syndromic sensorineural deafness. The localization of these mutations in different modules of the protein may cause different clinical features.
