Cadherin

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are cell adhesion molecules important in forming adherens junctions that let cells adhere to each other.

See CDH23 and Cadherin

Calcium

Calcium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ca and atomic number 20.

See CDH23 and Calcium

Deafness

Deafness has varying definitions in cultural and medical contexts.

See CDH23 and Deafness

Gene

In biology, the word gene has two meanings.

See CDH23 and Gene

Glycoprotein

Glycoproteins are proteins which contain oligosaccharide (sugar) chains covalently attached to amino acid side-chains.

See CDH23 and Glycoprotein

Kidney

In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation.

See CDH23 and Kidney

PCDH15

Protocadherin-15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PCDH15 gene. CDH23 and PCDH15 are genes on human chromosome 10 and human chromosome 10 gene stubs.

See CDH23 and PCDH15

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See CDH23 and Protein

Protein–protein interaction

Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are physical contacts of high specificity established between two or more protein molecules as a result of biochemical events steered by interactions that include electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding and the hydrophobic effect.

See CDH23 and Protein–protein interaction

Stereocilia

Stereocilia (or stereovilli or villi) are non-motile apical cell modifications.

See CDH23 and Stereocilia

Tip link

Tip links are extracellular filaments that connect stereocilia to each other or to the kinocilium in the hair cells of the inner ear.

See CDH23 and Tip link

USH1C

Harmonin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the USH1C gene.

See CDH23 and USH1C

Usher syndrome

Usher syndrome, also known as Hallgren syndrome, Usher–Hallgren syndrome, retinitis pigmentosa–dysacusis syndrome or dystrophia retinae dysacusis syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in any one of at least 11 genes resulting in a combination of hearing loss and visual impairment.
