What's a GeneRIF?

These data support the hypothesis that RFX2 expression is upregulated in spermatocytes where it participates in activating transcription of the H1t gene and other testis genes.
Title: Transcription factor RFX2 is abundant in rat testis and enriched in nuclei of primary spermatocytes where it appears to be required for transcription of the testis-specific histone H1t gene.
RFX2 and NF-Y binding to the testis-specific histone H1t promoter may be required for transcriptional activation in primary spermatocytes
Title: Binding of RFX2 and NF-Y to the testis-specific histone H1t promoter may be required for transcriptional activation in primary spermatocytes.

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.
