TECTB also known as tectorin beta is a protein with a mass of approximately 63.5 kDa. It plays a structural role in the inner ear particularly within the tectorial membrane which is an important component of the cochlea. TECTB is expressed primarily in the cochlear hair cells. This protein contributes to the mechanical properties of the tectorial membrane by forming a network with other associated proteins enabling sound-induced vibration detection.
Biological function summary

The tectorial membrane's function depends on the structural integrity provided by TECTB. It is part of a complex that includes alpha tectorin (TECTA) and other non-collagenous components. Together these proteins form an intricate matrix that maintains the membrane's mechanical properties essential for proper auditory transduction. The complex's ability to transmit sound energy effectively depends on the arrangement of its protein components which TECTB helps stabilize.

Pathways

TECTB plays a role in the mechanotransduction pathway within the auditory system. This pathway involves the conversion of mechanical stimuli into neural signals a process closely associated with proteins such as prestin and myosin VIIA. TECTB's interaction with these proteins ensures the efficient transmission of sound-induced oscillations to the sensory hair cells contributing to hearing function.

Mutations or malfunctions in TECTB can lead to hearing impairment specifically non-syndromic hearing loss. Defects in the TECTB-related tectorial membrane complex may affect sound wave transmission and result in auditory pathology. TECTA another protein within the complex also associates with similar hearing disorders. These connections highlight TECTB's critical role in auditory health and the potential consequences when its function is compromised.

General info

Function

One of the major non-collagenous components of the tectorial membrane (By similarity). The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that covers the neuroepithelium of the cochlea and contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals.

Post-translational modifications

The presence of a hydrophobic C-terminus preceded by a potential cleavage site strongly suggests that tectorins are synthesized as glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked, membrane-bound precursors. Tectorins are targeted to the apical surface of the inner ear epithelia by the lipid and proteolytically released into the extracellular compartment.
