High impact information on MCOLN3

  • Last, MCOLN2 and MCOLN3 are candidate genes for hereditary and/or sporadic forms of neurosensory disorders in humans [1].
  • Hair cell defects are apparent by embryonic day 17.5, assigning Mcoln3 an essential role during early hair cell maturation [1].
  • Our data suggest that Mcoln3 is involved in ion homeostasis and acts cell-autonomously [1].
  • Mcoln3 localizes to cytoplasmic compartments of hair cells and plasma membrane of stereocilia [1].
