role of Ecrg4 in the cardiovascular system [review]
Title: Potential functions of esophageal cancer-related gene-4 in the cardiovascular system.
ECRG4 is unique in its cytokine-like functional pattern and epigenetically-regulated gene expression pattern. The gene can be released from the cell membrane upon activation and detected in liquid biopsy, thus offering considerable potential in precision medicine. [review]
Title: ECRG4: a new potential target in precision medicine.
the results help establish that phage display can be used to identify cryptic domains within ORFs of the human secretome and identify a novel TLR4-targeted internalization domain in the amino terminus of ECRG4 that may contribute to its effects on cell migration, immune cell activation and tumor suppression.
Title: Open reading frame mining identifies a TLR4 binding domain in the primary sequence of ECRG4.
we have provided evidence to show that Ecrg4 is constitutively expressed in atria and the conduction systems and is down-regulated in AF.

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.
