epitope corresponding to amino acids 1-89 representing full length Otospiralin of mouse origin
Modification Notes
Otospiralin is an 89 amino acid inner ear-specific protein ecoded by the OTOS gene. Otospiralin is synthesized by fibrocytes of spiral limbus and spiral ligament in the cochlea. Fibrocytes are responsible for maintaining inner ear homeostasis and impairment or alteration of these cells may lead to deterioration of auditory function. Degeneration of fibrocytes due to the absence of Otospiralin leads to irreversible deafness in guinea pigs and moderate deafness in mice. Loss of function in hair cells of the inner ear may also be caused by the downregulation of Otospiralin. Otospiralin is conserved from fish to mammals. It shares homology with gag p30 core shell and SARS of type C retroviruses. One isoform is produced due to alternative splicing.
