<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome.

Ionotropic receptor that may play a role in the modulation of auditory stimuli. Agonist binding induces a conformation change that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. The channel is permeable to a range of divalent cations including calcium, the influx of which may activate a potassium current which hyperpolarizes the cell membrane.By similarity

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence.
