Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "ASIC5 is an orphan acid-sensing ion channel specifically expressed in interneuron subtypes of the vestibulocerebellum that regulates balance and eye movement (83)." 10.1126/sciadv.aaw6671
Mutation Description "The -1 bp frameshifting deletion in exon 10 is shared between odontocetes and mysticetes and thus likely arose in the cetacean stem lineage. Exons 9 and 10 were likely later deleted in the sperm whale lineage; however, there is a small assembly gap, which is why we conservatively mark both exons as missing sequence." 10.1126/sciadv.aaw6671
