Protein nameTransmembrane protein 63B
CSC1-like protein 2 (Transmembrane protein 63B)
SynonymsC6orf110
DescriptionFUNCTION: Acts as an osmosensitive calcium-permeable cation channel (By similarity). Mechanosensitive ion channel that converts mechanical stimuli into a flow of ion . Acts as an inner ear osmosensor, essential for normal hearing and survival of inner ear outer hair cells (OHCs). Mediates calcium-dependent regulatory volume decrease in OHCs which is necessary for their survival. Required for the maintenance of the morphological integrity of OHCs under hypotonic conditions. Mediates hypo-osmolarity-induced calcium influx, leading to activation of calcium-dependent potassium channels required for the maintenance of OHC morphology (By similarity). .
