the transcriptional activation of nuclear factor of activated T-cell proteins (NFATs), but not nuclear factor-kappaB, by IL-1beta stimulation was markedly attenuated by the iPLA2 inhibitor bromoenol lactone, and NFATc4 knockdown markedly attenuated the IL-1beta-induced expression of both CCL2 and CXCL10.

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.
