Gene information for LHFPL5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID222662
Official gene symbolLHFPL5
Full namelipoma HMGIC fusion partner-like 5
Aliases,DFNB67,MGC33835,TMHS,dJ510O8.8,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the lipoma HMGIC fusion partner (LHFP) gene family, which is a subset of the superfamily of tetraspan transmembrane protein encoding genes. Mutations in this gene result in deafness in humans, and a mutation in a similar gene in mice results in deafness and vestibular dysfunction with severe degeneration of the organ of Corti. It is proposed to function in hair bundle morphogenesis. [provided by RefSeq]
