What's a GeneRIF?

TorsinA was post-transcriptionally upregulated upon acute ER stress, suggesting a role in this response. Increased basal phosphorylation of eIF2alpha in DYT1 transgenic rats was associated with abnormal response to acute ER stress. Unbiased RNA-Seq-based transcriptomic analysis of embryonic brain tissue in heterozygous and homozygous DYT1 knockin mice confirmed presence of eIF2alpha dysregulation in the DYT1 brain.

torsinA plays a role together with snapin in regulated exocytosis
Title: The dystonia-associated protein torsinA modulates synaptic vesicle recycling.
Ours are the first data to demonstrate the specific modulation of torsinA expression in the basal ganglia of the hyperkinesia model, suggesting that GPi neurons containing torsinA possess pathologic plasticity for LID.
Title: Modulation of torsinA expression in the globus pallidus internus is associated with levodopa-induced dyskinesia in hemiparkinsonian rats.
Mutant torsinA may interfere with and/or compromise ER functions, especially in dopaminergic neurons, which have high levels of torsinA and are intrinsically vulnerable to oxidative stress.
Title: TorsinA in PC12 cells: localization in the endoplasmic reticulum and response to stress.
wild-type torsinA undergoes anterograde transport along microtubules mediated by kinesin and may act as a molecular chaperone regulating kinesin activity and/or cargo binding

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.
