Summary
This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring LRRC51 (leucine-rich repeat containing 51) and TOMT (transmembrane O-methyltransferase) genes on chromosome 11. The readthrough transcript encodes a fusion protein

Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones (By similarity). Required for auditory function (PubMed:18794526). Component of the cochlear hair cell's mechanotransduction (MET
