Usherin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the USH2A gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Eudy JD, Weston MD, Yao S, Hoover DM, Rehm HL, Ma-Edmonds M, Yan D, Ahmad I, Cheng JJ, Ayuso C, Cremers C, Davenport S, Moller C, Talmadge CB, Beisel KW, Tamayo M, Morton CC, Swaroop A, Kimberling WJ, Sumegi J | title = Mutation of a gene encoding a protein with extracellular matrix motifs in Usher syndrome type IIa | journal = Science | volume = 280 | issue = 5370 | pages = 1753–7 |date=Jul 1998 | pmid = 9624053 | doi =10.1126/science.280.5370.1753 | bibcode = 1998Sci...280.1753E }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Weston MD, Eudy JD, Fujita S, Yao S, Usami S, Cremers C, Greenberg J, Ramesar R, Martini A, Moller C, Smith RJ, Sumegi J, Kimberling WJ | title = Genomic structure and identification of novel mutations in usherin, the gene responsible for Usher syndrome type IIa | journal = Am J Hum Genet | volume = 66 | issue = 4 | pages = 1199–210 |date=May 2000 | pmid = 10729113 | pmc = 1288187 | doi =10.1086/302855 }}

This gene encodes the protein Usherin that contains laminin EGF motifs, a pentraxin domain, and many fibronectin type III motifs. The encoded basement membrane-associated protein may be important in development and homeostasis of the inner ear and retina. Mutations within this gene have been associated with Usher syndrome type IIa. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: USH2A Usher syndrome 2A (autosomal recessive, mild)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=7399}}
