Kaptin (KPTN)

[Edit]

Actin-associated protein 2E4

Kaptin (KPTN)
KPTNappears to be involved in this structural network. KPTN extends beyond the barbed ends of actin filaments at the tips of stereocilia, and using cloned human cDNA, KPTN mapped to chromosome 19q13.4. A combination of FISH, radiation hybrid mapping and YAC screening localized KPTN between markers D19S412 and NIB1805, making this gene an excellent functional and positional candidate for DFNA4, a form of autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss. Although no deafness-causing mutations were identified in the coding region, KPTN remains an excellent candidate gene for hearing loss; by synteny, its murine orthologue also remains a candidate gene for the Nijmegan waltzer (nv) mouse mutant, which has vestibular defects and a variable sensorineural hearing loss.
