What's a GeneRIF?

J protein family serves as a 'folding catalyst' for prion protein and implicates Rdj2 as a factor in the protection against prion diseases
Title: Rdj2, a J protein family member, interacts with cellular prion PrP(C).
Rdj2 modulates G protein signaling and further suggest that chaperoning G proteins is an emerging theme of the J protein network.
Title: RDJ2 (DNAJA2) chaperones neural G protein signaling pathways.

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.
