Background

Alpha-tectorin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TECTA gene. The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia, and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. Alpha-tectorin is one of the major noncollagenous components of the tectorial membrane. Mutations in the TECTA gene have been shown to be responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment and a recessive form of sensorineural pre-lingual non-syndromic deafness.

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human TECTA, different from the related mouse sequence by three amino acids.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Expressed at low levels in the more differentiated suprabasal regions of the small intestine, and at higher levels in the colon, mainly in the upper region and in scattered cells throughout the remaining epithelium. Also expressed in epithelial cells of bladder, ileum and stomach and at lower levels in pancreas and earskin. The phosphorylated form is nearly exclusively expressed in goblet cells of the small intestine and in the lumen-proximal cells of the colon (at protein level). Also expressed in jejunum and duodenum.

Applications

IHC,WB

Function

One of the major non-collagenous components of the tectorial membrane (By similarity). The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that covers the neuroepithelium of the cochlea and contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. .
