Whirlin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DFNB31 gene.[1][2][3]

In rat brain, Cip98 interacts with a calmodulin-dependent serine kinase, CASK (MIM 300172), and may be involved in the formation of scaffolding protein complexes that facilitate synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS) (Yap et al., 2003). Mutations in this gene, also known as WHRN, cause DFNB31 (MIM 607084).[supplied by OMIM][3]
