The Usher syndrome type 1C (USH1C) gene encodes for harmonin, a six PSD95/Dlg/Z-1 homology (PDZ) domain-containing protein. The USH1C gene is mapped on the human chromosome at 11p15.1.
면역원
Peptide with sequence DRKVAREFRHKVD-C from the N Terminus of the protein sequence according to NP_005700.2; NP_710142.1.
생화학적/생리학적 작용
Harmonin acts as a scaffolding protein and interacts via its six PSD95/Dlg/Z-1 homology (PDZ)-domain with myosin VIIa, scaffold protein containing ankyrin repeats, and SAM domain (SANS), and cadherin 23. It plays a role in normal mechanosensory function in cochlear hair cells. Mutations in the USH1C gene are associated with non-syndromic recessive deafness, retinitis pigmentosa, and Usher syndrome type 1.

We used a combined approach of homozygosity mapping and whole exome sequencing (WES) to search for the genetic cause of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) in families of Yemenite Jewish origin. Homozygosity mapping of two arRP Yemenite Jewish families revealed
The human Usher syndrome (USH) is the most common form of deaf-blindness. Usher type I (USH1), the most severe form, is characterized by profound congenital deafness, constant vestibular dysfunction and prepubertal onset of retinitis pigmentosa. Five corresponding genes of the

We have recently shown that USH1C underlies Usher syndrome type 1c (USH1C), an USH1 subtype characterized by profound deafness, retinitis pigmentosa, and vestibular dysfunction. USH1C encodes a PDZ-domain-containing protein, harmonin. Eight different Ush1c transcripts were identified in the mouse inner
