What's a GeneRIF?

a significant reduction in expression of the dopaminergic regulation factors Nurr1 and Pitx3 could not effectively regulate TH in the VTA during chronic morphine dependence, which affects the survival of dopaminergic neurons and ultimately leads to neuronal pathology.
Title: Dysregulation of Dopaminergic Regulatory Factors TH, Nurr1, and Pitx3 in the Ventral Tegmental Area Associated with Neuronal Injury Induced by Chronic Morphine Dependence.
Thus, this study demonstrates for the first time a transcription regulatory role for FoxP1 on the Pitx3 gene in mammalian stem cells.
Title: FoxP1 promotes midbrain identity in embryonic stem cell-derived dopamine neurons by regulating Pitx3.
results show that the expression of both Nurr1 and Pitx3 increased in prenatally stressed adult offspring in the ventral tegmental area, whereas no changes were observed in the substantia nigra area
Title: Immunocytochemical expression of dopamine-related transcription factors Pitx3 and Nurr1 in prenatally stressed adult rats.
Pitx3-transfection in astrocytes can up-regulate brain-derived neurotrophic factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor expression and produce protective benefit to dopamine neurons
Title: Pitx3-transfected astrocytes secrete brain-derived neurotrophic factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and protect dopamine neurons in mesencephalon cultures.
higher Pitx3 expression levels in ventral tegmental area than in substantia nigra neurons may contribute to the different vulnerability of these dopaminergic nuclei to neurodegeneration
Title: Differential expression of the homeobox gene Pitx3 in midbrain dopaminergic 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.
