About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for TECTA:

The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized

sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the

stereocilia, and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals.

Alpha-tectorin is one of the major noncollagenous components of the tectorial membrane. Mutations in the TECTA gene

have been shown to be responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment and a recessive form of

sensorineural pre-lingual non-syndromic deafness. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: TECTA_HUMAN, O75443

Function: One of the major non-collagenous components of the tectorial membrane (By similarity). The tectorial membrane

is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that covers the neuroepithelium of the cochlea and contacts the

stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the

tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing

sound into electrical signals

Post-translational modifications:

The presence of a hydrophobic C-terminus preceded by a potential cleavage site strongly suggests that tectorins are

synthesized as glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked, membrane-bound precursors. Tectorins are targeted to the apical

surface of the inner ear epithelia by the lipid and proteolytically released into the extracellular compartment¹

Defects in TECTA are the cause of deafness autosomal dominant type 12 (DFNA12) [MIM:601543]; also known as

DFNA8. DFNA12 is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural

receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information
