Otoferlin is a protein is encoded by the OTOF gene.Mutations in this gene are a cause of neurosensory nonsyndromic recessive deafness, DFNB9. The short form of the encoded protein has 3 C2 domains, a single carboxy-terminal transmembrane domain found also in the C. elegans spermatogenesis factor FER-1 and human dysferlin, while the long form has 6 C2 domains.
The homology suggests that this protein may be involved in vesicle membrane fusion. Several transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been found for this gene.Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are found in adult brain. Isoform 2 is expressed in the fetus and in adult brain, heart, placenta, skeletal muscle and kidney.
