TECTA

Index TECTA

Alpha-tectorin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TECTA gene. [1]

10 relations: Dominance (genetics), Extracellular matrix, Gene, Hair cell, Inner ear, Nonsyndromic deafness, Protein, Sensorineural hearing loss, Stereocilia, Tectorial membrane.

Dominance (genetics)

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.

Extracellular matrix

In biology, the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a collection of extracellular molecules secreted by support cells that provides structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

Hair cell

Hair cells are the sensory receptors of both the auditory system and the vestibular system in the ears of all vertebrates.

Inner ear

The inner ear (internal ear, auris interna) is the innermost part of the vertebrate ear.

Nonsyndromic deafness

Nonsyndromic deafness is hearing loss that is not associated with other signs and symptoms.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Sensorineural hearing loss

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a type of hearing loss, or deafness, in which the root cause lies in the inner ear or sensory organ (cochlea and associated structures) or the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII).

Stereocilia

Stereocilia (or stereovilli) are non-motile apical modifications of the cell, which are distinct from cilia and microvilli, but closely related to the latter.

New!!: TECTA and Stereocilia · See more »

Tectorial membrane

The tectorial membrane (TM) is one of two acellular membranes in the cochlea of the inner ear, the other being the basilar membrane (BM).
