What's a GeneRIF?

These observations suggest that ARHGAP4 can act as a potent inhibitor of cell and axon motility when it is localized to the leading edge of motile cells and axons.
Title: ARHGAP4 is a novel RhoGAP that mediates inhibition of cell motility and axon outgrowth.
ARHGAP4 occured in the hippocampus, ventral region of the brainstem and striatum, and in cerebellar granule cells. Subcellularly, ARHGAP4 localized to the Golgi complex and could redistribute to the microtubules, for example during mitosis.
Title: Cloning of rat ARHGAP4/C1, a RhoGAP family member expressed in the nervous system that colocalizes with the Golgi complex and microtubules.

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.
