What's a GeneRIF?

Although K(2P) channels are highly expressed, K(2P) currents are not activated via the NO/cGMP pathway in rat middle cerebral artery smooth muscle, despite the presence of numerous putative PKG phosphorylation sites
Title: cGMP does not activate two-pore domain K+ channels in cerebrovascular smooth muscle.
K(2P)6.1 (TWIK 2) immunoreactivity was detected in nerve terminals, blood vessels hair cells and transitional cells of the crista ampullaris and in the somata and neuron fibers of Scarpa's ganglia.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
