What's a GeneRIF?

Study verified that both BLT1 mRNA and BLT1 protein expressions were markedly increased after subarachnoid hemorrhage and elevated BLT1 expressions were mainly found in neurons, microglia and endothelial cells rather than astrocytes. We also demonstrated that there a significant positive correlation between BLT1 and nuclear p65 protein expressions in the same specific time course.

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.
