What's a GeneRIF?

These data demonstrate that LIV-1-GRPEL1 axis dually regulates mitotic exit as well as apoptosis by interacting with PP2A B55alpha and AIF.
Title: The LIV-1-GRPEL1 axis adjusts cell fate during anti-mitotic agent-damaged mitosis.
PrP and ZIP6 inherited the ability to interact with NCAM1 from their common ZIP ancestors but have since diverged to control distinct posttranslational modifications of NCAM1.
Title: A ZIP6-ZIP10 heteromer controls NCAM1 phosphorylation and integration into focal adhesion complexes during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
Zip 6 dysregulation was involved in enhanced inflammation during aging.
Title: Increased inflammatory response in aged mice is associated with age-related zinc deficiency and zinc transporter dysregulation.
mice fed low-Zn diet had reduced number of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling-positive cells compromised seminiferous tubule structure, and reduced Zip10 and Zip6 abundance (>50%; P < 0.5) compared with control diet
Title: Moderate zinc deficiency reduces testicular Zip6 and Zip10 abundance and impairs spermatogenesis in mice.

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.
