What's a GeneRIF?

MAP6 is present at the Golgi complex and in secretory vesicles in unpolarized cells and re-distributed to newly forming axons, where it binds and stabilizes axonal microtubules. A palmitoylation cycle controls MAP6 membrane-microtubule shuttling and is required for its polarized distribution in axons.
Title: Dynamic Palmitoylation Targets MAP6 to the Axon to Promote Microtubule Stabilization during Neuronal Polarization.
Structural basis for the association of MAP6 protein with microtubules and its regulation by calmodulin.

The neuron-specific isoform of the stable tubule-only polypeptide (STOP) interacted with the SH3A domain of ITSN1. STOP and ITSN1 were shown to form a complex in vivo.
Title: Endocytic adaptor protein intersectin 1 forms a complex with microtubule stabilizer STOP in 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.
