    motifs/domains
  • a transmembrane domain located near the N terminus
  • a scavenger-receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR), involved in protein-protein interaction
  • serine protease domains
  • a low density lipoprotein receptor A domain (LDLRA domain), which binds calcium
  • a C-terminal serine protease domain from the S1 family of the SA clan of serine-type peptidases for which the prototype is chymotrypsin
  • mono polymer monomer

    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in development and maintenance of inner ear
  • acts as a permissive factor for cochlear hair cells survival and activation at the onset of hearing and is required for saccular hair cell survival
  • potentially having a crucial role in the final steps of hair cell morphological/functional maturation
  • required for their proper functioning at the onset of hearing (
