Whole exome sequencing to investigate genetic variants of non-syndromic hearing impairment in a population of African ancestry by Manyisa, Noluthando

“…VTN was further shown as a hub protein of a protein subnetwork, along ATPB2. The presence of a second protein acting as a hub protein may account for why aberrations in VTN have not been associated with a disease; whereby ATPB2 may ameliorate the pathogenic phenotype that ought to be observed in the presence of null mutations in VTN. …”

“…This explains the lack of significant uptake of orotate by most differentiated tissues which lack the intact band 3 protein. However, the demonstration of band 3 in rat hepatocytes (Cheng and Levy, 1980) provides a mechanism for the orotate transport which has been observed in liver (Handschumacher and Coleridge, 1979). …”
