[5] This gene is predicted to encode a glycosylated, cationic amino acid transporter protein with 14 transmembrane domains.

In the mammalian inner ear, this gene is expressed in neonatal inner and outer hair cells during development and becomes specifically expressed in inner hair cells in adult animals,.

[6][7]Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa and hearing loss in the form of auditory neuropathy.
