Facts about Cadherin-23.
CDH23 is needed for establishing and/or keeping the correct organization of the stereocilia bundle of hair cells in the cochlea and the vestibule during late embryonic/early postnatal development. It is part of the operational network formed by USH1C, USH1G, CDH23 and MYO7A that mediates mechanotransduction in cochlear hair cells.

In adult animals relatively high levels of expression are found in testis, skeletal muscle, heart, eye and thymus, and lower expression in kidney, lung and brain. Found in the sensory hair cells of the inner ear.
