What's a GeneRIF?

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of ovariectomy and 17beta-estradiol (E2) replacement on the expression of Cytochrome C, apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) and Endonuclease-G (Endo-G) and CREB in hippocampus of the adult female rats.
Title: Ovariectomy and 17β-estradiol replacement play a role on the expression of Endonuclease-G and phosphorylated cyclic AMP response element-binding (CREB) protein in hippocampus.
Peroxynitrite can trigger apoptosis in spiral ganglion neurons associated with mitochondrial AIF and endonuclease G intranuclear localization.
Title: Intranuclear localization of apoptosis-inducing factor and endonuclease G involves in peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis of spiral ganglion neurons.
Displays a remarkable salt tolerance unique among secreted endonucleases characterized so far.
Title: Effects of salt on the kinetics and thermodynamic stability of endonuclease I from Vibrio salmonicida and Vibrio cholerae.
present study has further established the link between mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species and heart disease and has uncovered a role for Endog in maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy
Title: Endonuclease G is a novel determinant of cardiac hypertrophy and mitochondrial function.
These data establish a link between Bnip3 and EndoG-dependent, TUNEL-positive, DNA fragmentation in ischemic cardiomyocytes in the absence of caspases, defining an alternative cell death pathway in postmitotic cells.
Title: EndoG links Bnip3-induced mitochondrial damage and caspase-independent DNA fragmentation in ischemic cardiomyocytes.
EndoG upregulates and translocates from mitochondria to nucleus in cultured hippocampal neurons following oxygen-glucose deprivation, before observable pyknosis. When EndoG translocation is increased, neuronal death increases and vice versa.
Title: Mitochondrial BNIP3 upregulation precedes endonuclease G translocation in hippocampal neuronal death following oxygen-glucose deprivation.
Endonuclease G is translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus of neurons and expressed with apoptotic-like morphology in the nucleus of astroglia in the thalamic reticular nucleus after global cerebral ischemia.
Title: Endonuclease G expression in thalamic reticular nucleus after global cerebral ischemia.
caspase-independent events are involved in cardiac apoptosis during the late remodeling stage of pathologic heart failure
Title: Response of caspase-independent apoptotic factors to high salt diet-induced heart failure.
These data indicate that apoptosis is an early, and therefore possibly causative, event in the process of muscle atrophy, and that EndoG nuclear translocation is specific for myofiber nuclear apoptosis.
Title: Nuclear translocation of EndoG at the initiation of disuse muscle atrophy and apoptosis is specific to myonuclei.
Data indicate increases in the nuclear levels of caspase-activated acinus and DNase and Endonuclease G (a caspase-independent endonuclease) in CA1 and CA3 pyramidal cell nuclei with different temporal patterns following an AMPA-insult.
Title: AMPA-induced excitotoxicity increases nuclear levels of CAD, endonuclease G, and acinus and induces chromatin condensation in rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons.

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.
