Abstract excerpt
The atp11a gene encodes a phospholipid flippase protein required to flip phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) from the outer leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane to the inner leaflet. Mutations in ATP11A have been described in individuals with sensorineural hearing loss and neurological deterioration; however, little is known regarding the mechanism by which loss of atp11a results in such...
