FAM65B

Family with sequence similarity 65, member B is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the FAM65B is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The protein encoded by this gene stimulates the formation of a non-mitotic multinucleate syncytium from proliferative cytotrophoblasts during trophoblast differentiation. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013].

Clinical significance
Mutations in FAM65B are associated to hearing loss.
