Facts about Mucolipin-3.
Mediates release of Ca(2+) from endosomes to the cytoplasm, contributes to endosomal acidification and is involved in the regulation of membrane trafficking and fusion from the endosomal pathway (PubMed:21245134). Does not appear to serve as mechanosensory transduction channel in inner ear sensory hair cells.

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Early endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Late endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Lysosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane. Recycles between the plasma membrane and intracellular compartments by a dynamin-dependent endocytic pathway (PubMed:19522758). Under normal conditions, only a very minor proportion is present at the cell membrane (PubMed:19522758). In the cochlea located at the base of stereocilia near the position of the ankle links (By similarity).
