What's a GeneRIF?

Data suggest that Tektin 4 is not associated with axonemal tubulins but instead associated with Outer Dense Fibers in rodent spermatozoa.
Title: Tektin 4 is located on outer dense fibers, not associated with axonemal tubulins of flagella in rodent spermatozoa.
Tektin4 protein was predominantly localized in the flagella of spermatozoa, suggesting that it might works as a flagellar component requisite for flagellar stability or sperm motility
Title: Molecular cloning of a new member of TEKTIN family, Tektin4, located to the flagella of rat spermatozoa.

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.
