The encoded protein is expressed in the inner ear and forms a multimeric complex called the otoconia, together with cerebellin-1 and otoconin-90, as part of the otoconial membrane. It contains extensive posttranslational modifications including hydroxylated prolines and glycosylated lysines. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with abnormal otoconia formation and balance deficits resulting from vestibular dysfunction.
