What's a GeneRIF?

Data show that in addition to its role in transcytosis, MAL2 also regulates polymeric IgA receptor delivery from the Golgi to the plasma membrane.
Title: MAL2 selectively regulates polymeric IgA receptor delivery from the Golgi to the plasma membrane in WIF-B cells.
MAL2 is a novel synaptic vesicle protein that is preferentially associated with vesicular glutamate (VGLUT-1)-containing nerve terminals.

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.
