Expression landscape of the genetic hearing loss protein whirlin across human tissues and cell types

2026-03-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Whirlin ( WHRN/DFNB31 ) is a cytosekeltal scaffolding protein essential for the development and function of sensory cells in the inner ear and retina, yet its distribution and potential roles in other human tissues remain poorly defined. Here, we present a comprehensive expression map of whirlin by integrating bulk RNA, single-cell RNA, and antibody-based proteomics data generated as part of th...
