Anti-GIPC3 Antibody Picoband®

PDZ domain-containing protein GIPC3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GIPC3 gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the GIPC family. Studies in mice suggest that this gene is required for postnatal maturation of the hair bundle and long-term survival of hair cells and spiral ganglion in the ear. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive deafness.
