Function | Proton-selective channel that specifically transports protons into cells (PubMed:29371428). Proton channel activity is only weakly- sensitive to voltage (By similarity). Proton-selective channel activity is probably required in cell types that use changes in intracellular pH for cell signaling or to regulate biochemical or developmental processes (PubMed:29371428). In the vestibular system of the inner ear, required for the formation and function of otoconia, which are calcium carbonate crystals that sense gravity and acceleration (By similarity). Probably acts by maintaining the pH appropriate for formation of otoconia (By similarity). Regulates purinergic control of intracellular calcium in vestibular supporting cells (By similarity). May be involved in sour taste perception in sour taste cells by mediating entry of protons within the cytosol (By similarity). Also involved in energy metabolism, by reducing adipose tissue inflammation and protecting from obesity-induced metabolic dysfunction (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80VM9}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Detected in the gelatinous membrane overlying the inner ear macular epithelium {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80VM9} |

Background
OTOP1 is required for normal formation of otoconia in the inner ear. Inhibits P2Y purinoceptors. Modulates calcium homeostasis and influx of calcium in response to extracellular ATP (By similarity).
