What's a GeneRIF?

the nuclear localized CA-VI B selectively promotes IL-12 expression by interaction with protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), which reduces symmetric dimethylation of histone H3 arginine 8 modification (H3R8me2s) at Il12 promoters to facilitate chromatin accessibility, selectively enhancing c-Rel binding to the Il12b promoter.

he altered biological processes included antigen transport by M-cells, potassium transport, muscle contraction, and thyroid hormone synthesis. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the absence of CA VI in the submandibular gland of Car6 (-/-) mice

knockout mouse model confirms that CA VI is involved in bitter taste perception. CA VI may be one of the factors which contribute to avoidance of bitter, potentially harmful, substances.

The generation of Car6 (-/-) mice and examination of the effects of CAVI deficiency on gene transcription have revealed several affected clusters of biological processes, which implicate CAVI in catabolic processes and the immune system response.

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.
