What's a GeneRIF?

Overt type 2 diabetes is associated with diminished islet expression of SCD and Elovl6, and this can disrupt desaturation of saturated FAs to MUFAs, rendering beta-cells more susceptible to saturated FA-induced ER stress and apoptosis.

testicular distribution of Delta5- and Delta6-desaturase and stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 and 2 shows that all four desaturases seem to be localized in the Sertoli cells, with far lower expression in germ cells

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.
